Over estimating Vs under estimating
Some people hates and loathes the feeling or the idea of being under estimated and thinks being under estimated is a bad thing. I certaintly can empathize with that but I beg to differ.
When people under estimate you, that is when you get to shine and wow people.

bottom line is, set ur own standard and work to achieve it. unless one is a complete screw up, chances are the person will meet or exceed other people's expectations. please urself first, before others. cause there are billions of ppl out there and u cant please them all.
secondly, the bar gets raised constantly each time u exceed expectations. there will eventually be a point where u cannot meet. so what do u do there?
like high jump. Each time u exceed target (leap over the bar) the bar gets raised till u cant get across. The gist? Do your best. As long as u have done ur best, u will be alright.
If i beat people's expectations but felt that i didnt do my best still, i aint happy. end of the day, i need to work on my own expectations (reasonable amount) rather than someone else's.
U know my character. I generally dont give a hoot in meeting people's expectations. I think i give myself a hard time as it is already. Enuff! :P
