The Underdog and Favourite

Characters, we all are in some kind of a drama based on some timeline with various themes intertwined into one big movie with some unnecessary flashbacks and some quite shocking forwards(a look at the future). We all have roles to play, some in which we are good and bad extending to miserable in some cases. Theatre is an art, some are gifted and and some are not. But most of them are, but not in everything, if one is proficient in one role, there will be another one i which he/she would fail.
One becomes an underdog if he/she understands these shortcomings and does nothing about it. And a favourite is made when he atleast tries. This anyway is an insider's perspective, so does not make a difference to the overall outlook of the person. Or does it? Confidence, body language, blah blah....
Judgements, some critical and some minute are ones which makes one an underdog or a favourite. If only, these were in ones own hand, it would have been a lot easier. History might also help these judgements being made.Pressure is the only thing here which is a resultant of these judgements. Some of us deal with all this pressure well and some of us do not. Pressure is felt by both kinds anyway, so not much difference finally. But its definately a test of character; a test to go on, a test of perseverance, a test of the various facets of the human mind
