The Man Who Thinks He Can
- Walter D. Wintle
If you think you're 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 will 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're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to hustle 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.

附:中文
如果你认为你败了,那你就一败涂地;
如果你认为你不敢,那你就会退缩畏葸;
如果你想赢但是认为你不能;
那么毫无疑问你就会失利。
如果你认为你输了,你就输了;
因为我们发现人世间
成功从一个人的意志开始;
成功是一种心态。
生活之战中,
胜利并非总是属于更强和更快的人,
胜利者终究是认为自己能行的人。
