Homework: Translate the poem into Spanish
“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”
IF
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you’d like to win but think you can’t
It’s almost certain you won’t
If you think you’re 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
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger of fitter man
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who believes he can
