Quote of the day by Franklin D. Roosevelt is, “Never underestimate a man who overestimates himself.” The saying focuses on confidence and the way people respond when they believe strongly in their own ability. A person may have more confidence than skill, but that confidence can still push the person to take action. Such a person may attempt goals that others avoid because they fear failure. The quote also warns against judging people too quickly. An overconfident person can fail because of poor judgment, but the same person can also produce an unexpected result through persistence, risk-taking and a refusal to accept limits.
