Think about the power your mind has over your body and how you can be sick just for being sad, or be healthy just for being healthy. Science has proved through psychosomatic studies that this is true. Think you can, and you'll be able to do anything you want.
As kids we used to read the little train book (I think I can), but as adults we forget these simple lessons.
This quote has motivated me to be a president for a student association, and become so successful in my academic life.
