Confidence is when I believe I can achieve something because I have prepared for it, and I know my strengths.
Overconfidence occurs when I assume I can achieve something without proper preparation and ignore my limitations. Although I believe confidence builds careers, overconfidence can also destroy opportunities. So, I choose to stay grounded and keep learning.

Confidence means any one can ask a question I can answer that question either it is correct or not. If the answering way represents how much we are confident to that situation. Over confidence means if answering that question and the answer is wrong but the person always says it is correct they did not convince with that answer that represents over confidence.

Confidence is being comfortable in your own skin and expressing yourself without feeling insecure or nervous. It comes when one knows one's strengths as well as faults and accepts them to improve oneself.

Overconfidence is when a person 'believes' that he/she is right every single time and that there's nothing the others 'need' do, but follow him/her happily.

If a person is confident then he or she is increase his or her efforts towards his or her goals but if a person is overconfident then he or she decrease his or her efforts towards his or her goal. If a person is confident then he or she is more determined towards his or her goal but if a person is overconfident he or she will take his or her goal very lightly.

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).

Everybody have their view of perception based on their experience in life, I want to share my viewpoint on this, be ready to face any kind of situation in unfaithful and having clear thoughts on goals to implement even over distracting from people.

Overconfidence is having less knowledge of situations, behave like immature in the right kind of situation.

Confidence is when you do something that knows you can do it at hundred percent (100%) and you do it efficiently and effectively without having to face mistake or failure. While Over Conference is trying to do something you know well in more hundred percent 100% (100%+) and you started eagerly, proudly and arrogantly but you fail to do it as required.

Hi, this is Vijay.

Confidence:- He/she has the confidence to accept the challenges overcoming by their continuous practices. This will result to the good results.

Overconfidence:- He/she had the good results in last time so they have the idea it is too easy to get the good result this time also without practice. But now it guides them to a failure.

Confidence is staying calm and cool and being able to do whatever task is being assigned in a proper way.

It is being confident about oneself and having the belief of being able to do anything.

Over confidence is when someone brags about being confident in am excessive manner and it does not always lead to good results and can be self destructive.
