THOUGHT FOR THE NEW YEAR

NOTE:On the Eve of this NEW YEAR, with the year 2007 Ringing Out and the NEW YEAR 2008 Ringing In,I wish to share with all the Readers of KAVITANJALI the following Thought to practice in the NEW YEAR which is just round the corner.This Thought is not my original and was composed by by an Annanimous writer.It made such a deep impression on me that over the last few years it has become habitual for me to read it out to myself on every such occasion of NEW YEAR EVE such as TODAY and carry it with me as a Thought To Practice as the NEW YEAR Dawns.

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
Tis almost Certain You Won't.

If You Think YOU Will Lose,You Are Lost
For Out Of The World We Find
Success Begins With A Man's Will
Tis All A State Of Mind.

Many A Race Is Often Lost
Even Before A Step Is Run
Many A Coward Fails And Falls
Even Before His Work Is Begun.

Think Big,Your Deeds Will Grow
Think Small,You Will Fall Behind
Think You Can, Am Sure You Will
Tis All A State Of Mind.

If You Think You Are Outclassed,You Are
You Have Got To Think High To Rise
You Have To Be Sure Of Yourself
Before You Can Ever Win A Prize

Life's Battles Do Not Always Go
To The Faster OR Stronger Man
And Sooner Or Later The Man Who Wins
Is The Man Who Thinks He Can.

It is very true. I feel most people are not able to put this into practice because of fear of failure and redicule of others for being unrealistically over ambitious

Dear Sulo,
Dear Sulo
Thanks for Ur feedback on this poem.I agree with U you are hitting the nail on its head when U say it is fear of failure that comes in the way of putting the thought behind this poem into action.However I am sure with repeated exposure to such thoughts one will someday or the other take action.Thanks once again.BAIYU
