ALWAYS BELIEVE.
In 2012, Chelsea football club was in the final of the European Champions League for the second time in 4 years, they were nearly eliminated in the round of 16 stage when they were beaten by Napoli 3 goal to 1 in the first leg of that tie. Their manager got sacked after that match, and they rallied themselves to win the second leg by 4 goals to 1, advancing to the next stage.
As the tournament progresses, the ties became more difficult and in the semi finals against Barcelona, after been down to 10 men, and losing 2 goals to nil, they came back to draw the match 2 goals apiece sending them to the finals. In the final match, Bayern Munich scored the opening goal of the match in the 83rd minute on their home soil. This was enough for anyone on the Chelsea side to give up their hopes of winning that tournament, but they never gave up, they kept believing, and in the 88th minute Didier Drogba leveled from a Juan Mata corner kick, sending the tie into extra time and then penalties.
Chelsea football club won their first ever European Champions League trophy that night against all odds. Nothing worked in their favour in Munich that night, except their determination to win. They were outnumbered, outcheered, and outplayed, but they never stopped believing. Nothing beats your believe in yourself, even if no one believes in you, never stop believing in yourself and your ability to achieve whatever you set out to achieve.
Life may not be fair to you, the odds may not be in your favour, but your believe, backed up by your determination, will get you your desired victory. Never look down on anyone, because as much as no one is indispensable, anyone can be instrumental to you eventual success. As Norman Vincent Peale said, "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."
