Believe

If you think you are 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 certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellows 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 he man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

  • But what if both teams think they will win?

  • Haha a classic comment from the old days.who are yòu boy

  • Missing the point like a typhoon missing the Philippines

  • I agree with the sentiment, that you're more likely to win if you believe that you will, but the poem seems a bit like those Facebook memes that say something obvious in a whimsical way to make them seem more profound. All it needs is a pretty picture in the background.

    In any case, I'm fairly sure both teams believe they will win tonight. Come on Wycombe.

  • Psh the internet wasn't around in Roman times. Everyone knows it was Bob Marley who said that.
