In life one encounters numerous problems, but the ability to overcome these problems are within us.
Remember if one gives up soon and stops trying, then there is no hope for solution.
Take the case of a cricket match.
All of us love the game of cricket. The IPL is on in India and eight teams are vying with each other for the trophy.
Rajasthan Royals was the First season winner followed by Deccan Chargers in the second season.
In the third season, Rajasthan Royals had already lost first five games and were down and under.
This did not deter them from having hopes.
The next five games have been won by them and they are a force to reckon with.
Take the case of the game held between Rajasthan royals and Deccan Chargers on 05.04.10.
Rajasthan Royals had batted first, scored a meager 160 runs in 20 over’s and the opposition Deccan Chargers had come in to bat.
Deccan has the best of Players like Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds, and Rohit Sharma.
The Deccan team came in to play and lost valuable wickets and was at one stage 56 for three.
Things looked glum; they were struggling to get runs. Rohit fought valiantly and was taking the score towards the winning moment.
It was his will power and confidence that kept him going. However his team mates could not sustain the onslaught of a good bowling by the Rajasthan Royals.
Shane Warne showed his captaincy his never say die attitude despite Rohit playing so well, brought him luck.
He changed his bowlers so well and placed his fielders at strategic spots so that the catches could be taken easily. It looked as if the game was being orchestrated by him and he knew exactly where the ball would be hit by the batsman.
The wickets started tumbling. The fielding was excellent and the run out of Harmeet Singh was too good to believe.
The score was inching towards the Royals target; there were only two runs and three balls.
The last batsman Mr. Ojha came in to bat, and struck a low pitched ball of Trivedi and the catch was taken at the boundary by the fieldsman.
There was joy everywhere for those who supported Royals; the team was exuberant and lauding Shane’s captaincy.
It was Shane’s efforts in mobilizing his boys, his directions, his decisions, and finally his bowling that did the trick.
Shane’s bowling resulted in 4 for 20 runs, remarkable for 40 Years old cricketer.
It was any day a Deccan riot to be unfolded with great batting stalwarts but at the end despite a poor score, Royals managed to win.
That’s why we say If You think You Can You Can, but If You think you can’t, then God help you.

As inspirational it sounds, it is a grossly simplified cliche - the true source for human motivation, happiness and well-being is yet unknown - the origin of consciousness is mysterious.
Also, the impact social, financial and moral well-being has on the will to live, fight and succeed (and vice versa) is well recognized but not quantified in empirical terms.
It is undoubtedly profoundly difficult, in scientific, philosophical, metaphysical and epistemological terms, to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the origins of human consciousness, motivation and resolve.
It is markedly clear that the cyclical inter-dependence and mutual dependence between human motivation/passion, social & financial success and human well-being is the key central questioning concerning the nature of life itself.
Some are not aware of these deep conundrums at conscious or subconscious levels, some choose to concern themselves in more practical pursuits or daily jobs - but some individuals take these questions very seriously, to the point that their own happiness and indentity is conditionally rooted upon them finding some closure and explanations to such questions.
I look forward to hearing from you on this subject.
Thanks for your comments Rajiv.
The example of a game is to demonstrate the fact that sportsmen fight to win a game, and they don't give up.
Winning a game is similar to leading our lives, we ought to strive to do better, if we give up nothing can be achieved.The fact that man lives in hope and its hope which drives human beings.
The past is over, it cannot be undone, but one can learn from the past, Live and enjoy the present, and plan for the future.
I have just went through of it, it is just superb.It is one of the managament mantra in todays competitive global economy. its motivational message to youngsters like us who are struggling at early phase of their career in any field.I would also like to say in cricketing languate it tell us always be on front foot.

Well! Persistence does pay if not sooner certainly later. There is a famous adage in Hindi which goes like: :"Mun ke haare haar hai, mun ke jeete jeet" which is what your caption is titled.
Certainly an apt example to prove it. Keep it up.

Dear Rakesh/Pravin,
Thanks for your comments.
I do beleive in this theory, about'if you think you can, you can...... But then I also beleive, that 'thinking' is not the only tool, which can help you to win, thinking can help you identify avenues only. I may be wrong, but i am just sharing my thoughts.
Dear Adrian,
Thanks for your comments, When i say if you think it means that we ought to have the thought of doing some thing in life and naturally should also perform.
Mere thought is not enough.
Regards,
Ananth Iyer
