Confidence is the inner factor of every person which we don't show in front of the person and it reaches our perfect goal. For example, if I hard work then I will surely get the job. (with positive attitude and self-motivated).

On the other hand, overconfidence our external image which we easily realize that we have. Which is never reach our destiny. It spoiled our way of our life. For example, I know I have got the job for sure. No one can with me (without any hard work).

Confidence is the trust of ourself to teach reach the destiny with an idea of present situation.

Overconfidence is not knowing the idea of present situation but still, think to reach the destination.

Overconfidence is nothing but drowns completely in ocean with knowing the skills to swim.

Confidence is to hold the breath according to situation and know to swim accordingly.

Sir, Confidence is the good trait to have where a person is sure about his course of action or activity and it comes from past success and right decisions.

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

Thank you, Sir.

Hi, this is Vijay.

Confidence:- He/she has the confidence to accept the challenges overcoming by their continuous practices. This will result to the good results.

Overconfidence:- He/she had the good results in last time so they have the idea it is too easy to get the good result this time also without practice. But now it guides them to a failure.

Confidence means you Believe that you can do a task.

Over confidence means without observing the present situation you just Think that you can do that task.

Hence you can say it imagination.

Preparing for something and having a feeling that you will perform well at it is confidence and not preparing for something but still thinking that you will perform excellently at it is over confidence.
