In my view, Confidence is the key to prove yourself right whereas an over confidence person fizzle in proving his or her own statement. Confidence makes a person feel relaxed whereas over confidence always leaves you in doubt.

Confidence according to me is a feeling of doing the work correctly with head on the shoulder where as over confidence knowing to do the work but going in to relax mode which in turn fails to acquire desired results.

"I can do it - confidence" which attracts people and give followers. If there is no success there will be success. "I only can do it -Over confidence" which neglected by people. If there is success there will not be success.

According to me, these two words make a huge difference in themselves. For example as I have mentioned in my resume that I like to play chess so if in any game if I say that I will win that's my confidence while if I say that nobody can beat me that's my overconfidence means confidence is a positive trait while overconfidence is negative trait as I am underestimating other persons.

Confidence is "I am able to face any Kind of Situation ". Over Confidence is "I am always ready to face any kind of situation and handle it very well and never get fear about any situation".

I think when one's confidence going beyond to his limit in a certain things, then it makes him overconfidence, which is danger for him. So, everyone should know to his limit.

There is a thin line which distinguishes a confident person from an overconfident person. Often the difference lies in the way people perceive success. Confidence is believing that one will pass, overconfidence is believing that one would

In this world nobody is perfect so in my view confidence means when a person wants to face all questions with positive attitude and by his knowledge whereas over-confidence means giving extra advice without studying the matter.

The mainly difference between the confidence and the over confidence is that. If a person doing any work with his overall concentration by taking all his confidence it makes him success but that work only if a person did all his over confidence by considering extra expectation it may that work will not succeeded that mean his not doing that work with full of his concentration but his thinking some expectation so that is the main reason why sometimes the over confidence leads to the man unsuccessful.

Confidence is a positive attitude to handle a situation or doing a work, and it helps in our growth, ex, in a team work, a confident person spreads great energy to other team members with his attitude, while overconfidence really hampers our growth, overconfident person try to initiate or be the boss type in a group never considering the talents of other group members, which mostly spreads a negative energy and discomfort to others, and the result will be negative too. So we can have I can do attitude but not I only can.

Over-confidence: "Only I can do this job. ". The words differ only in one word "ONLY", but this "only" will decide the path of your life either towards promotion or towards demotion.

Some of the people above are talking about arrogance not overconfidence. 1. Confidence is the good trait to have where a person is sure about his course of action or activity and it comes from past success and right decisions. 2. Overconfidence is excessive belief in their own abilities ignoring the fact that their decision can be wrong too.

Confidence is when a person knows that he can do the work while over confidence is when he knows that he can do work but takes it for granted and puts less or no efforts. This degrades the ability to work hard. And deteriorates our work quality and efficiency.

The word confidence means that we have knowledge and ability to achieve something. The word overconfidence means only I have the ability to achieve great things. Minor difference results big change.

"Nothing is impossible" is confidence, But "Everything is possible" is overconfidence. The "Everything" word creates the big difference between confidence and over confidence.
