Do you feel that you could be doing something else instead of what you are doing now? Say you want to be a pilot but instead you are one of those who check the baggage? You know, just like Jay Baruchel's character in the movie She's Out of My League? You know you want to fly that plane, but you are not doing it because you think you do not have what it takes.

Oftentimes, some people tend to think less of themselves. Instead of giving themselves a 10 out of 10 they rate themselves as a 5, 6, or 7, very rarely an 8 or a 9 and never a 10.

While it is a good thing to be modest, and be humble, thinking less of yourself is totally a different thing. It is like you already have set yourself into a trap where there is no way out, you are stuck there for the rest of your life because you think that this is all you can do and therefore you are just going to be happy with it.

See the bad part of thinking less about yourself is when you stop believing in yourself, when you cease to believe that you can be better of what you are now, that you deserve more than what you have now, and the worst part of all is that when you stop taking chances. Life is about taking chances, about seizing opportunities, about moving forward; it is about believing you can achieve, that you can leap, that you can, that you are.

In the movie She's Out of My League, Jay's character ended up flying a plane, taking the girl of his dreams on a flight to their romantic date all because he believed that no number or rating system can stop him from becoming what he wants to be and taking his chance to be with the perfect girl.

The point is do not let other people's rating on you lower your self esteem. The best thing you can do when this happens is to prove them wrong. If you think you do not have what it takes, then get up and do something about it. You have as much chance as them. The difference though is how much you really want that chance and how much an opportunity means to you. Just let me tell you this --- there is no rating system that can stop you from getting what you want, from going where you want to be, from being what you want to become. Believe in yourself buddy! You can do it and you will! Just remember to work really hard and giving your best at what you do, because although knowing that you are a 10 out of 10 ( meaning knowing that you have what it takes) can help you get an easy way to get where you want to be, it does not guarantee you a long stay over there --- it is the doing and the proving that keeps you where you should be.
