Being underrated is an advantage to you

Imagine shocking everyone to become the person they didn't believe you can ever become. Yeah it's possible, it can happen without anyone noticing.
Before when am being underated among my friends and seniors I get angry. I used to see it as a sign that am not good enough or am not capable enough to meet up the task. But what I didn't realize was that it was even the tool that was building me to become who I am today. It made me stay alone grinding on the task to proof to them that I can also do it. So If you are in a place where people don't see your potential, you are not in a disadvantage as I used to think before, they are just giving you an opportunity.

Being underrated reduces peer pressure, no burden of you trying to prove anything to anyone. You just grow on your own pace, silent and nothing like monitoring of your next move. This will give you a quiet space to learn make experiment, fail and improve without anyone judging you. I will say that it's the best time for growth.

Another advantage is you surprising the people that expected little from you. In Nigeria we use to say ("e shock you").
When people expect little from you, this is when you surprise them by beating all odds, everyone will be rejoicing with you, but only you know the times you went extra miles to ensure you beat the records. The day you rise after being underrated, your own news will be louder than others. Naturally people love paying attention on persons they underestimated suddenly becoming the person they respect.

Being underrated generate this internal hunger to achieve it. It gives you thr drive that those who are contently being praised may not even have. As others overlook you the fire in you grows because you definitely know that you are more than what people think.

Being underrated helps you to avoid unnecessary competition, no body will even want to compete with a loser (as some of them may call you). No body will compare you, they just leave you to stay aside. But you are moving quietly and using your mistakes and others mistakes to build even better than them.

Finally, being underrated will you teach you resilience. So if have ever been underrated, just believe that it's a blessing for you to become the next champions.
Being underrated is not a disadvantage.
It is the quiet season that shapes champions.
