Shared wisdom from Dr. Joseph

 

Dr. Joseph is such a wise man. At 94 years old, I wanted to take in all of the wisdom he had to share. Going to The Masters with him and spending time with him was such an honor.  He copied these and shared them with me...  :)

If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win, but you think you can't, It's almost a cinch 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're outclassed, you are; We'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 man who thinks he can.
