IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN , YOU ARE!
“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 of 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!”
―Walter D. Wintle
Personally speaking this was the first poem I ever learnt. Taught to me by my mom who knew it had a powerful meaning ,made sure that was the first thing I learnt.
This poem speaks of how powerful our mind is.
How it can control and channelize our thoughts, efforts, etc.
The mind alone determines whether we succeed or not. Self- talk is something that is more important than we think it is.
Unless you believe in yourself, no one ever will. You and only you decide you fate that is whether you are beaten or not in the cycle of life.
Never say u like winning but think u can’t for then it simply means that you never will , this happens because the moment you doubt your capabilities ,that’s when u lose the fight within.
Success always begins with your will and burning desire for it is all in the state of mind.
In life you do not have to be the fastest or the strongest or the smartest one to win, what you need to be is a believer in the very fact that you will and have won it.
To summarise this all up, the one who wins has already won all his mind battles and removed all possible mental barriers from his path to success , all he had to do was know and believe that HE CAN.
