Confidence means knowing ourselves what is what, coming to over confidence believing the things will happen which are not practically not possible.

But over confidence is dangerous.

Sir, there is a slight difference between confidence and over-confidence. I'll explain with an example "I can do this" is confidence whereas "Only I can do this" is over-confidence.

Confidence -I can do it but at that time you know what's your strength and weakness as per that you put your efforts.

Over Confidence-I can do but you not aware of your weaknesses.

In my opinion, if one person appointed a work for us if we say like we can do its nothing but confidence if we say only we are the people who can do this work called overconfidence.

Confidence: I know everything since I want to revise once so that I will easily crack the interview.

Over confidence: I know everything without revision I will crack the interview.

Confidence means facing a challenge with hands on ability to complete it successfully.

Overconfidence means, something in hand but that's not enough to reach into finishing point!

Confidence is knowing and acting based on that knowledge without fear and over confidence is believing you have reached a certain level whilst you not. Acting beyond your capacity.

Confidence is something that we believe in ourselves and that others might find easy to believe, but overconfidence is a type of confidence that even when we believe, others won't.

Overconfidence means destroy our own progress.

And confidence means being progress.

According to my side, Overconfidence always bad thing and confidence is always a good thing.
