Thinking ...

For the past 6 or 7 years, I have had an inspirational poem posted right beside my computer monitor. I see it every day, I read it every day, and I can recite it in my sleep. It is something that has inspired me throughout every day of running my own business, and I thought I would share it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thinking ..... by Walter D. Wintle

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 cinch 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 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 sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
