"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right."
Quote by Henry Ford
Emphasizes how much attitude determines success or failure.
This means that you decide on your own success or failure. If you think you can, you will succeed, or somehow find a way to make it happen. But if you think you can't do it, this negative thinking can lead you to failure. In other words, it would be a self-prophecy.
It encourages us to think "can" rather than "can't", i.e. to think positively about every endeavor.
This quote is powerful, especially if you find yourself holding on to doubts.
