I continue to find positive poems kept by my Aunt. I remember by Grandma reciting this. Maybe it will be of help to someone.
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 certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world, you find
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many a race is lost
'Ere ever a step is run
And many a coward fails
'Ere ever his work's begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow.
Think small and you'll fall behind
Think that you can and you will
It's all in the 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 can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
(Walter Wintle)
