How to use "Underestimate" in context?
Underestimate is likely one of the most common words in a person's vocabulary. Ironically, underestimating someone often leads to greater disappointment and eventual defeat. Here are some reasons why it is important to be humble and realize the potential of others:
1. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and if you constantly expect people to be perfect, you're going to be disappointed. We all have areas that we need to improve upon, and it's important to give people the benefit of the doubt and not judge them before they've had a chance to prove themselves.
