Never Underestimate Yourself

Thursday, January 28, 2010



"Butterflies don't know, in what color their wings are, but human eyes know how beautiful that is. Likewise u don't know how sweet u are, but others know it."

Isn't it a sweet but great line.Yes, it is. So what is the reason that despite of the presence of such great thoughts around us many of us underestimates themselves and quit in life? This is not a champion's attitude. So what is a champion's attitude towards hazardous situations of life? It is always positive and realistic attitude. I don't think that there is something un-achievable around us (practically there are some, like myself stop writing. Ha Ha Ha...).If we make efforts than god also supports us and we can also emerge with flying colors in our life. But what I found that many people are having the attitude so poor that they even don't believe in themselves may be because of some mental illness or something else may be the reason. This is absolutely wrong attitude towards life.

Do u know the story of the little girl - the 20th of 22 children, was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralyzed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it.

By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last.

For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered.

Eventually this little girl - Wilma Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.


If she had quitted in life because of her inferiority complex than the history must have been re-written. Inferiority complex should be considered as one of the dreadful disease human society is facing because it is this inferiority complex that prevents us from achieving new and different heights. Why don't we realize that if some one says that we r useless than it is her/his views about us. We may prove lucky for others. So taking into consideration the views of a single person or community, we should not quit but make ourselves so strong that the person who hurt our feelings should realize how wrong he/she was in doing so. God has not created any one without any reason. We all are his sons and daughters and he love all equally but takes exam of some people also, but do u know the person who successfully clears his exam are the most close to god because they are special not because they are odd.

So make a pledge to yourself to not underestimate yourself as well as others and make this world a happy place to live in.
