Confidence: Working on your action & accepting failure if it comes.

Over-Confidence: Linking yourself with the end result, not the action. Taking the result to your ego.

Confidence means you have the guts to pass or fail on something. It is the shaky part of passing and failing.

And for over confidence you only have the guts to pass. You don't think about failure. And it is dangerous.

Confidence- proving himself by use of skill and labour.

Overconfidence - leading to disaster and lost patience.

Look there is a minor line between the two words confidence and over confidence.

Confidence is when you have faith in achieving something. Confidence is good though. But over confidence is when you start feeling superior to others like only you can do this. This is overconfidence.
