If you are afraid to start, you'll never get there.
If you feel you can't make it, you won't.
If you want to make it, but you think you can't,
It is most likely that you will give up.

If you feel the road is to long to travel, you'll never reach the end.
For in this Society the Black Person finds,
Success begins with being strong enough to take the first step-
Being strong enough to take all the steps that follow.

If you feel that you are inferior, then you are.
You have to feel equal to be equal.
You have to have confidence in yourself before,
You can ever win the confidence of other.

Success doesn't always come according to,
The race or wealth of a person.
But sooner or later the person who succeeds,
Is the person WHO FEELS THEY CAN!
