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 is almost certain 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 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 man who thinks he can.

I think this poem is right. It's right because if you are positive you'll be right.For example tomorrow we are taking the TAKS.The people who are positve and say they are going to pass they will. If you say"Naa why take it I'm not going to pass anyways.Well those people better get their thinking hat on because it's going to be tough.
