In Spanish:
"Si piensas que estas vencido lo estas
Si piensas que no te atreves, no lo haras
Si piensas que te gustaria ganar
...Pero que no puedes no lo lograras,
Porque en el mundo encontraras que el
exito comienza con la voluntad del hombre.
Si piensas que perderas, ya has perdido
Todo esta en el estado mental
Porque muchas carreras se han perdido
Antes de haber corrido
Y muchos cobardes han fracasado
Antes de haber su trabajo empezado
Piensa en grande y tus hechos creceran
Piensa en pequeno y quedaras atras;
Tienes que pensar bien para elevarte,
Todo esta en el estado mental.
Si piensas que estas adelante lo estas
Tienes que pensar bien para elevarte
Tienes que estar seguro de ti mismo,
Antes de intentar ganar un premio
La batalla de la vida no siempre la gana
El hombre mas fuerte o el mas ligero,
Porque tarde o temprano el hombre que
Gana es aquel que cree poder hacerlo."
Dr. Christian Barnard
And in English:
"If you think that you are defeated, you are
If you think that you do not dare,
you shall not do it
If you think that you would like to win
But that you cannot, you shall not win
Because in the world you will find that
Success begins with the will of man.
If you think that you will lose,
you have already lost
It's all in the mental state
Because many races have been lost
Before they were run
And many cowards have failed
Before having begun their work
Think big and your deeds shall grow
Think small and you shall remain behind;
You must think well to elevate yourself,
It's all in the mental state.
If you think you are ahead you are
You must think well to elevate yourself
You must be sure of yourself,
Before attempting to win a prize
The battle of life is not always won
By the man who is strongest or quickest,
Because sooner or later the man who
Wins is he who believes he can."
Dr. Christian Barnard
