I have this poem on a wall in my office so I can see it every day to remind what is necessary everyday to succeed or to help me stay focused on the task at hand. .
THE VICTOR
By C.W. Longenecker
If you think you are
beaten, you are.
If you think you dare
not, you don’t.
If you like to win
but you think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch
you won’t
If you think you’ll
lose, you’re lost
For out in the world
we find
Success begins with a
fellow’s will.
It’s all in the state
of mind.
If you think you are
outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think
high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure
of yourself before
You can ever win the
prize.
Life’s battles don’t
always go
To the stronger or
faster man,
But sooner or later,
the man who wins
Is the man who thinks
he can.
