While Fathers will be doing most of the receiving this Sunday on Father’s Day, we wanted to offer something for Dad’s to share with their kids. Below is statement that Arnold Palmer is said to have kept posted on the wall of his office. We don’t know who the author is.
Whether You Think You Can or You Can’t: You’re Probably Right
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 you think you can’t,
Its almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;
For out in the world you’ll 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 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.
We love this essay/verse and hope you share it with kids and others in your life b/c we believe it to be true.
Btw, spend more time with your kids and family by playing in our free fantasy football leagues during the 2009 NFL Season. Sign up is now open and we are once again awarding over $40,000 for college savings to participants in our leagues.
