Confidence has no limits for achievements.

Over confidence limits a persons ability from achieving something new.

1. Confidence is the sureness came from my past results and makes me more strength.

2. Over-confidence is an excessive belief in my ability which makes me to not believe that my decisions may go wrong.

Ex: I can do this work which previously I have done and I have experience (confidence).

I can only do this work and no one can do this (overconfidence).

According to me.

Confidence is that when I have a goal and I work hard for that and believe that I can do it that's called confidence.

But if I do nothing for my goal still believe that I can do it that's called overconfidence.

Confidence means you know what is your weakness and you know that trying and trying, again and again, you can change your weakness in your strength.

Overconfidence means that you are sure that you have no negativities and it"s fact that you will win, no. The matter you are putting your right effort in that direction or not.

Doing any task and anything in a good manner and passionately using all available surrounding resources is confidence. Doing things in an imaginary way without any knowledge any planning is called overconfidence.
