People underestimate all the time. We underestimate our coworkers our families and something even our children. Why do we do it? Does it makes us feel better putting someone down like that. Does it make us a bigger person? No, we underestimate because we are humans and we try to protect the people that we think can't do it. We try to help and say it's okay maybe next time or no let's just put that down for now, some are even flat out told you can't do it so stop. I was told this today, do you think for one moment I will stop? No it lit a fire underneath me, driving me to prove that I can do this, but you never know how your words will effect someone else. Next time you want to underestimate someone else just think of all the times that someone underestimated you and try to compassionate about it. You never know how words will effect that other person.
