"If There Is 1% Chance, Then We Exercise 99 % Faith"

in #life8 years ago

It all started here, with this picture by @steemcollator:

and ended up in these words and the best words, I have heard in recent times.

"If there is 1 percent chance, then we exercise 99 percent faith" Neymar

Neymar Jr of Football club Barcelona, wrote the above words on his Instagram feed in preparation for Barcelona’s battle against utmostly, the most impossible mission in the history of** UEFA champions league**!

The feat was to come back, from a 4-0 deficit to Paris St-Germain football club, in the second leg of the knockout stages round of 16.

FCB got trampled on, in the first leg. Ofcourse, FCB went to the first leg as favorites but where rattled and crumbled by PSG.

This video will fill you up with all kinds of really felt emotions. FC Barcelona is my team, so in my case, i had a really thumping heart and tears of joy. I didn't get to watch the game live as i was at work but also because of fears and i doubted the possibility of FC Barcelona winning slightly.

I wanted to go back after the match and be told that FC Barcelona won, by headlines.

Then i came on steemit and found the picture above. I nearly had a heart attack.

I rushed onto footytube.com to see FC Barcelona's triumph and gosh, it was a paradise of emotions. I drew the inspiration i could from it, too!

Neymar's words played like ringtone in my ear. Ofcourse, i knew of breakthroughs, hope, testimonies, being too lazy to quit etc but his words; "oh how, i so liked the sound of it!"

If you did watch the video above and know about football, sports etc you will be re-told that, "the impossible is possible" and especially if there is life and health!

Neymar has had a tough season until this game! He did a night-mare spell of three months, without scoring a league goal, before the crucial 2 goals, that he scored in this match.

He has had his football IQ repeatedly questioned by critics. He has lost many possesions on the ball this season, but here, before this game he said:

"If there is 1 percent chance, then we exercise 99 percent faith" Neymar

Neymar not only believed in possibilities but he maintained his believe in himself and his abilities. You needed to see how took the free-kick, that got the 4th goal and the penalty kick, that resulted in FC Barcelona's fifth and under the intensest pressure.

There were only two minutes plus injury time left on the clock and with Barcelona up 3-1; they still needed to score 3 goals in this time, without conceding any.

In football and with the magnitude of this game and the atmosphere, this feat is almost superhuman but the keyword is; "it is possible!" However slight, the chance or probability is, "it is possible!"

The feat above had never been done before;** "a 4-goal deficit from the first leg, without an away goal, with 88 minutes of the 90 minutes gone and still three goals needed"**. Gosh, i am so inspired!

He had said he will score 2 goals, prior to the game and events paved way and he did just that!

He did more: He gave the final assist, to create the 6th goal, thus, making the once apparent undoable; "doable!"

It was a clairvoyant’s pass; a pass that had some destiny. He felt it, he believed it, he did it!

**"If there is 1 percent chance, then we exercise 99 percent faith" **Neymar

These words are powerful to me at this point in my life. My entire life, there has been mostly "one percent" and now more than ever, "I exercise "99 percent" and breakthrough starts this year; "Mine and Yours"

I will be a testimony and we will see it!

I will grow older tomorrow! March 11!

Sort:  

I'm not into football, but that quote definitely rings true for everyone. A lot of hope is encompassed by such a short phrase. Nothing is impossible, so just have to keep the faith. Very well put!

You make good points here...

You might be onto something!!

yes barry, i have up to something my entire life. my story is also a tuff one. this year is a crucial year for me. it is when i want my dreams to start on the path of coming true. too, i grow older tomorrow which is emotional period. i will be silent tomorrow perhaps even sad or depressed but hopefully i will get strong again. i am away from family, alone and i cant return to my family until goodnews, i must i bring to their ears, if i am to see them. i am this first son, the only son and this is something, i must do.
