 Thinking - a Poem by Walter D Wintle

"Thinking" is a poem written by Walter D. Wintle, a poet who lived in the late 19th and early 20th century. Little to nothing is known about any details of his life. "Thinking" is also known as "The Man Who Thinks He Can".

This poem has gathered so much affection that during last century, different versions of the poem have been published. It is guessed that the version published at least as early as 1905 in "Unity" College Magazine, perhaps is the original and unaltered poem. Here in the following that version is being shared.

The poem "Thinking" focuses on the power of positive thinking and self-belief, suggesting that if one believes that he can achieve something, then there could be more than few reasons for his success. It emphasizes the importance of a strong conviction, self belief and determination in overcoming challenges and achieving goals. The poem "Thinking" effectively conveys its message of self-empowerment and aligns with the optimistic and motivational tone characteristic.

The poem "Thinking" is a legendary piece of Reflective poetry. The poem reflects the most undisputable aspect of Human psychology and therefore it echoes deep within the mind of every reader. It looks at the spirit of human being facing adversity. The main theme is that negativity and adversities are heavily influenced by our own state of mind. The poem "Thinking" teaches us that our thoughts shape our destiny. If we believe ourselves weak and subjugated and think we can't win against "Goliath", then we certainly will never.

Walter D. Wintle through the poem "Thinking" attempts to convince the reader that Anybody can do anything as long as they have the correct mindset. Wintle describes this perfect mindset in the poem by explaining that your only competition is the person looking back at you in the mirror. The poem also explores the idea of the underdog when he writes "Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man". Overall the most distinct idea the author conveys in the poem is that the mindset one man possesses will determine his level of success or failure. 

 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 is almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost;

For out in this 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;

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win the 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!

Yes, I can! by LCA

Just because I am small and you are tall

Doesn’t mean you’re above it all

If you ever thought your words brought me down

Let me inform you

They brought me HIGHER

That even that voice that lived with me and whispered all day long “you can’t do it”

I’ve show it not only to you but the whole world

I CAN DO IT

Yes you can by Unknown

Be calm and relax,

Breathe a warming sigh,

Be restful, be peaceful,

Just let the world go by.

Melt... into loving arms,

 And savour a gentle touch,

Switch off your troubled mind,

Caress these moments much,

Experience deep emotion ,

Taste silent lips with care,

Be at one with yourself,

When somebody else is there,

Dream openly, and treasure,

A memory made to last,

Make the very most of it,

...Time passes by so fast.
