Confidence is all about your real capabilities. According to your determination, you could make yourself confident. Confidence is good. You should always be confident but overconfidence is like that which keeps us back, pulls down. When we think only I can do this I can make this, nobody is there like me, nobody can make this except me then what will happen! Nothing. It destroys us. People may fun of us. They may be sledging behind our back and which will pull us down.

Confidence is believing yourself and try best to prepare for the achievement of a goal.

Over-Confidence is considering yourself only in order to neglect other things totally without even preparing for the goal.

According to me,

Confidence:it is based on our abilities and strength if we are planned for a particular work with a positive manner then we say yes I can.

Over confidence:it is based on the previous success on a particular work on that success whether he or she commited that they can do in a very relaxed manner it is good to have a look back the previous achievements and success it gives a great strength and positivity in ourselves but it is more important to focus on the present work and should be analysed by your own whether the work can be finished or not based on your work abilities.
