    If You Think

    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 of the world we find

    Success begins with a fellows 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 the faster man.

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

    Anon

    When things are enlightened, knowledge is extended.
    When knowledge is extended, the will becomes sincere.
    When the will is sincere, the mind is correct.
    When the mind is correct, the self is cultivated.
    ------Confucius, (551-479 B.C.)
