Advantages Of Underdogs

TRIUMPHANT UNDERDOG OVERREACHER – REALITY OR MYTH?
Although many people believe that the underdog being triumphant is a myth because the underdog is at a disadvantage due to a lack of experience or unfavourale chances, actually the underdog’s triumph is a reality. Why? Despite the fact that the underdogs sometimes lack experience or have unfavourable conditions, the underdog’s greatest advantage is that he is underestimated. Also, underdogs have always given their fullest to their cause and work very hard to reach their desired goals. So, contrary to popular belief an underdog not because of luck but due to their hard work which pays off.

As I said the underdog can fail and might end up to be another American Faust, the results of a few failures cannot make their triumph a myth. Why? Because myths are something that might be lie and if there is something to prove them wrong then the myth is not real. So, the triumph of the underdogs that prevail obviously makes it a reality. But their victory as I stated before is not something that’s random or out of sheer luck. It comes from their hard work and due to the great advantages they gain because they are underdogs. Like Steve Guttenberg said, ” If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.” Thus, without a doubt it is obvious that the triumphant underdog is a
