" I can do it "- confidence, " Only I can do it "- overconfidence.

" I am suitable for this job "- confidence, " I am the only one suitable for this job "- overconfidence.

" Trusting yourself "- confidence, " Underestimating others "- overconfidence.

A person is confident when he know the fact better, A person is overconfident when he know the facts better than others.

Confidence is a belief and the courage that it is possible, but with full knowledge and awareness of challenges/obstacles and errors that might make the road to success not very smooth.

Overconfidence is selfish thought that with me every road is smooth, anyone else can't go through in my absence.

Confidence is a path to sucess but over confidence pulls ourself to the failure. Confidence come when we trust ourself and overconfidence come when we underestimate ourself and acheive something great.

Confidence is a slight difference between confidence and overconfidence. So confidence means believing itself.

Like I can do this word it's confidence.

And I can only do this word it's a overconfidence. And so on.

Confidence: Confidence means believing in yourself and in your abilities-not in an arrogant way but in a realistic, secure way.

Overconfidence: Overconfidence is an excessive belief in their own abilities ignoring the fact that their decision can be wrong too.

Confidence is something when you do care about your result and puts 100% effort to make it best but in over confidence's case you don't care about the result although might be possible to not to put any effort because of over assurance to that matter. In other words, confidence is what when you make a rough path in a walkable path and in over-confidence, you make a rough path into a slippery (over smooth) path.
