I was given this poem when I left school in 1955
ALL IN A STATE OF MIND
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you
can’t
It’s almost a certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will:
It’s all in his state of mind
If you think you’re outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You’ll ever win that prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins,
Is
the one who thinks he can.
