One of the more famous quotes about success out there comes from Henry Ford, who once said, "If you think you can or can't, you're right. Along those same lines, I wanted to share an inspiring poem from one of my favorite books by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich:
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 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 one who wins,
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!
-Isaiah Croatt-
