Self Confidence

self-con·fi·dence (slfknf-dns)

n.

Confidence in oneself or one's own abilities

I saw this the other day, thought it's a great way to start the week:

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you 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 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.
