Who d'you THINK you are?
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you'd like to win, but you 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 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!
I refuse to call the person who wrote this, ANONYMOUS, which was written in the book I found it in. In fact, anons are other people, this person is everything but an ANON. The real anons, however, do have names, nationalities, education, and sometimes a brain. But the way they see themselves is their true identity. If they see themselves as nobodies (as some blogs I have read lately who believe they are weak, oppressed, not heard... etc) then they are! So congratulations to every person who is confident and believes in himself while holding his head high... and to the others I have one word for you, and that would be: Pathetic.
