"I can do this work" - confidence.

"Only I can do this work" - overconfidence.

Confidence is more about respecting the potential of yourself while overconfidence is about disrespecting the potential of others.

Being confident helps you reach your goals while overconfidence takes you further away from your goals.

Confidence is a positive side of any person on the other hand overconfidence is the negative side of a person. Confidence helps to learn anything easily but overconfidence doesn't give to learn anything.

Because an overconfident person thinks that he/she knows everything or without he/she anyone doesn't know that particular thing.

According to me, confidence is a positive and encouraging side of one's mind and overconfidence is a negative side of one's mind. So, I think that confidence is more necessary than overconfidence.

To my knowledge no one in this world knows everything, so confidence is the one I keep learning to know everything and over confidence is the one I know everything. These things will reflect the positive and negative side of a person.
