Would you rather be underrated than overrated?

Being overrated is the state of one's capability being underestimated.An underrated person may not get the chance to do the work she or he is actually capable of doing just because his capacity to do that task is not known by his colleague.
Overrated is when a person's capabilities,skills and talents are held in high regard and she or he is relied upon for all kinds of jobs.
I would prefer being underrated initially.It gives one time to understand the environment,the people and the work.Slowly,I would start exhibiting my abilities and make my worth known to one and all.Being underrated motivates you to better yourself,break bars and achieve higher goals.
Also,being underrated is a very useful weapon in competetion.Your adversary makes the grand mistake of underestimating you which makes it easier for you to surprise him or her out of his or her wits and strike the winning blow.. ;)Your opponent has himself handed you an advantage.For instance, in the game of kusti or wrestling,the player who is bulkier or taller is considered capable of winning over his opponent.Such a player in his smugness may not consider his loss by the simple tactic of his smaller companion if making him lose balance of his feet resulting in his fall and consequent loss.
(and trust me there's no greater feeling of elation then looking at the face of a smug,defeated opponent!!)
On the other hand an overrated person has a lot riding on his or her shoulders.They need to constantly prove their mettle and keep up with their image.Even the seniors expect a lot from them and heap them with more responsibilities.This increased work load leads to saturation and on being unable to meet the demands,colleagues and seniors feel let down.
Thus, I would prefer being underrated rather than overrated.
