Confidence means I can do & if I failed to do I will try my best to complete it.

Over confidence I'm the only one who can do it.

In simple word:.

Confidence means I do and if I fail to do still I am trying my best to compute the task.

Over-confidence means I am the only one who can be the best of among all no one can bit my computation task.

Confidence: If you are trying to achieve something, you know you can and still working hard to achieve it. It's confidence.

Over-confidence. If you say you can achieve your goal but not working hard enough then it's over confidence.

If I say "I can do this work" is confidence.

If I say "I am the only one who can do this work" is overconfidence.

Confidence means knowing you can do it attitude still working on a contingency plan if things won't work according to your wish.

Overconfidence means I will achieve it anyhow, nothing will go wrong and will resolve every problem without having plan B if plan A fails.

Confidence is you know that you have much knowledge but you do the work the fluently.

Overconfidence is you suppose that you have much knowledge and can do work fluently but you don't.

Confidence is "I can do it" attitude, while over confidence is "only I can do it "attitude of a person. Confidence is necessary for the person to gain success while overconfidence can ruin one's success.

'Confidence' shows the attitude of a person who thoroughly believes, "No pain, no gain. " On the contrary, 'Over confidence' is an attitude of a person that he won't drown in the sea of reality undoubtedly even when he does not know how to swim.

Confidence implies believing in yourself that "I can do it. " but at the same time not losing any chance to improve on yourself, taking advice from appropriate sources and persons and hard work towards one's goal. On the other hand, over confidence makes one believe that they are on the peak and can never fall. They think that there's nothing more to improve on yourself. That's where over-confidence results in fall.

There exists a very slight boundary between the two but its plays one of the most vital roles in deciding one's future!

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.
