About This Quote

The concept of underestimating someone can be somewhat frightening. It often seems like the smaller, weaker person is at the mercy of the stronger. However, how many times have we underestimated our own abilities that we end up overpossessing ourselves? Some of the world’s most successful people started out small and simple. There was always a moment in their lives when they had to prove themselves and it ended up bringing them success.
