The Victor
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 a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll 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 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 the prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
If you think you are beaten, you are.

To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

This arrived in my e-mail today, from my mom, with the above title. Together with the following message :
Wishing all our children success and happiness! 
That life will treat u well most of the time, if not all. 
That life will treat u well most of the time, if not all. Love,
Mama & Papa
Since I gave my mom my e-mail address a few days ago, she's been bombarding me with forwarded messages, mostly about general safety and once, on how to escape in case I got kidnapped.
But I love this e-mail the best.
