Don't underestimate your potential

There is a famous quotation that says: 'It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can do only little. Do what you can.'

It is very true. We often let opportunities go because we think we don't have the ability to succeed. But we don't even try.

In most cases, we regret not trying, thinking perhaps we might have succeeded. Nothing is unachievable.

Don't underestimate yourself. When you see an opportunity, do your best to make use of it. Even if you're not successful, at least you'll know you tried.
