Is it possible to succeed without diving?

“They say Messi doesn’t talk much.
They’re wrong.

He’s been preaching to us all along.
If you look, you can hear him.
He’s saying: don’t go down brothers and sisters, don’t go down.

When life kicks you and tries to tackle you, don’t go down.
When your legs are heavy and your lungs are burning, don’t go down.
When you have every reason to go down, do not go down.

You can’t defy the odds when you’re down.
You can’t make someone a believer when you’re down.

Messi is spreading the word.
Don’t let things on the outside be stronger than what’s on the inside.
Because life has more in store for you, if you just stay up.”
