Confidence is knowing and acting based on that knowledge without fear and over confidence is believing you have reached a certain level whilst you not. Acting beyond your capacity.

According to me, confidence is the ability to believe in one self and taking a bold step along with risk factors but over confidence is an act of over or surplus believing in once self for carrying highly risky things on one head without realizing the back ground and ones ability to deal with it.

Confidence is staying calm and cool and being able to do whatever task is being assigned in a proper way.

It is being confident about oneself and having the belief of being able to do anything.

Over confidence is when someone brags about being confident in am excessive manner and it does not always lead to good results and can be self destructive.

Confidence means it comes with your own abilities and past success and the decision will be right.

Overconfidence means excessive belief with your own abilities and the decision can be wrong too.

Sir according to my views, confidence is best way to check our potential and overconfidence is the worst way. By overconfidence we can lose everything in our life but with confidence we can achieve everything.

In my point of view, confidence is the key role that everyone should have and overconfidence is the one which is a negative quality that everyone should avoid.

Confidence comes when you know that you are capable of doing the work even though you are not capable enough you should be confident in some situations.

For an example, A student is preparing for his exams from the beginning. He says that 'he surely score good marks in his examination' is Confidence. But if another student is preparing at last minute says that "he too scores good marks" is Over confidence.
