State of Mind
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think that you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost certain that you won’t.
If you think that you’ll lose, you’ve lost.
For out in the world you’ll find,
Success begins with a fellows 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 sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Some deep sturvs! Well, id say nuff with the thinkin! You best get off ur behind and do something!

Jacobs’ Law of Scarcity states that if your time (a resource) was precious… Anyway, I hope the poem motivates you as well
I get the feeling that time is not a scare commodity in Warwick but what do i know, Stay motivated and think. (it is harder than you think)
oh yeah, i think am going to b stinking rich and all that good stuff, u know what am talking about………..thats pretty long to get that message across. Oh yeah, U 4GOT IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY DUDE!
remi, i think this blog thing is bi-monthly right? anyways, wasnt aware of Jacobs scarcity of Law but wouldnt bother educating myself since ‘time is precious’! Apparently people that think hard end up havin them lines on their face that’ll take botox/ surgery to fix -Will and Grace
and since obi aint into that kinna surgery, ama stick to less thinking!
very easy and cliche sounding…but i’m sure its true….but then again truth is relative
Hey Rmi, is there any brand name “Mckenzie” over there? At least that is what i think its called.
wow..the thoughts of this poetry is powerful..
