There is a very thin layer between confidence and over confidence. If one thinks that he can do the task and has the ability, it is confidence. But if one thinks that I will be able to do it nothing can stop me and I am the only best that is over confidence.

One should have confidence and not over confidence as it ruins our personality and our relations with our colleagues. Confidence gives us a positive attitude and approach in life which is very important.

Confidence is a belief in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment, which allows an individual to undertake challenges and handle difficult situations. Overconfidence, on the other hand, is an excessive belief in one's abilities, which leads to a tendency to underestimate risks, overestimate outcomes and make decisions without considering all the facts.

Overconfidence can cause a person to act impulsively and without proper planning, potentially leading to negative consequences.

The belief in you that you do is confidence, But over confidence is that you can do anything that you had.

So, A man with confidence can achieve but over confidence can create problems for you.
