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.

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。
