People don’t always take me serious. In fact, usually they underestimate me. This used to make me absolutely fume! But now?
Bring it!
I love when people underestimate me. They don’t realize they’ve just given me a HUGE advantage and weakened themselves.
Why would I say that?
Because they’ve let their guard down. They’re not expecting anything from me. Big mistake. (a) Because I’m one of those who almost always does the opposite of what you’ll expect me to do, and (b) Hello? Are you that confident really? You probably shouldn’t be.You just gave me incentive to prove you wrong.
Anyway…it only took me almost 40 years to see how beneficial being underestimated is. But now that I know the secret? I actually am kind of disappointed when I’m taken seriously!
NEW MANTRA?
I saw this Tweet and loved it. In 20 words or less pretty much sums up what I said above.
