Poem and explanation

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 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 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.

Explanation: This feels like a poem to  motivate us for the TAKS tomorrow and on Wednesday also. It says that whatever you think in you head might come true. For example, it says that if you think you'll lose, you might lose and get lost in the way. I like the last paragraph because it explains how in life you will have to have a lot of battles and challenges on the way. It matters if you might be pessimistic or optimistic.I have a tip for you:"Think before you act ".
