The Man Who Thinks He Can
By : Walter D. Wintle
If you think you dare not, you don't.If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
If you'd like to win, but think you can't It's almost a cinch you won't. Success being with a
fellow's will;
For out in the world we findIt'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 soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

Way Back Into Love
(By Hugh Grant feat, Drew Barrymore)

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!
