The Power of the Mind
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's almost certain you won't.
If you think you will 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 win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
In 60 words only, paraphrase the poem.
Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to your question.
The main theme of the poem is that a person becomes what he thinks he is. If an individual considers himself a failure in life, that is what his ultimate fate would be. It is the strong will and determination of a person to succeed and conquer the challenges, that allows him to reach his determination. One should not believe that the strongest or the fastest always achieve their goals in life. On the other hand, it is the man with a strong self who wins the race of life.
