Hi,

After a long time, I am sharing one more of my favorite poems.

In my childhood, me and my sister would share a room. We also shared a wall. Half was hers full of pop star posters and other half was mine with the “free” posters then available on Cadbury’s chocolates.

I therefore assume that my love for posters came from there and in my teens, I had an entire room to myself and it was full of my craft projects, my favorite quotations (written in crayons on my wall!!) and my favorite posters. This particular poem was on one of my posters. I loved it.

THINKING

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t,
If you like to win, but you think you can’t
It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re 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 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 a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

There is very little known about the poet but, You can read more about this poem here.

Hope you have enjoyed this poem.
