If you like to win but you think you can't, It is almost certain you won't. If you think you will lose, you already lost, For out of the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. Somebody scoffed, "Oh you'll never do that, Or at least, nobody ever has done it." But he pulled off his hat and he took off his coat, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without ever doubting or quitting it, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done and he did it. ~The Voice in the Wilderness~ |
