Confidence is a realistic belief in one's abilities, leading to careful and informed actions.
Overconfidence is an exaggerated sense of ability, often resulting in reckless decisions and mistakes.
Confidence embraces caution; overconfidence dismisses it.

"I am right" shows your confidence.
"I am always right" shows your over confidence.
Confidence will give you courage and motivation to carry on with your work.
Over confidence will not let you work hard and will reduce your chances of getting success.

Confidence is to believe in yourself with right logical and methodological approach, facts and ability to prove your point.
Over confidence I think is to stick to one thing without listening to others and not being able to believe on your colleagues.

Confidence is not only towards the success but also towards the failures.
Means confidence =faith +afraid of failures.
Whereas overconfidence never cares about your failures it only thinks about success.
Means overconfidence =Confidence +negligence.

The significant difference between being confident and being overconfident is;
A Confident person always wants to learn something but A overconfident person always thinks that he knows everything and others do not know anything in comparison to him.

Confidence is based on the facts and figures and overconfidence is based on speculation.
First we analyze that work, then decided we can do that work this is confidence. Without analyzing that work then decide we can do that work is overconfidence.

So basically, confidence enables the person to gain a positive impact.
No matter what, even if he fails, he still makes that as a reason to improve himself.
Overconfidence means that a person himself thinks, he is the only best and perfect person.

THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN CONFIDENCE AND OVER CONFIDENCE.
A STRONG MINDSET TO DO A JOB PERFECTLY WITH YOUR TEAM IS CONFIDENCE.
WHEREAS THINKING I AM THE BEST IN THE TEAM IS OVER CONFIDENCE.
BECAUSE YOU ARE CORRECT DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE WRONG.

For example, if you are given a task.
If you think "I can do the task" that is confidence.
If you think "l can only do the task and no body can do it" that is overconfidence.
Confidence or overconfidence will always depends on once own thinking.
