Sir according to me, if a person has skills, knowledge talent and he/she is assuring for the completion work that means the person is confident enough but if he/she doesn't have that many skills and knowledge which is to be required and is assuring for the completion of task then it's overconfident.

If we can do something by knowing our strengths, weaknesses and limits, and think that the activity which is done by us will be good enough, it is Confidence, on the other hand, we think that we can do anything and nobody can do better than us, This is a Over Confidence.

There is a step between confidence and over confidence and that is hardwork sometimes followed by knowledge. If you do hardwork to gain your knowledge then you are full of confidence. The best example is when you gain some practical knowledge by doing a lot of hardwork. And this confidence can be turned into overconfidence if there is no such step.

Confidence: I can do it very well. Other side overconfidence : hoping big without any preparation. This is blind faith that you are the only perfect person.

When the person says "I can do it. " It is known as confidence and when the person says "Only I can do it. " this is known as overconfidence.

1. Having faith in yourself is confidence and having blind faith in yourself is overconfidence.

2. Planning the strategy and implementing it to the work is confidence and thinking that no planning is required to do the work is overconfidence.
