CONFIDENCE - Shows knowledge.

OVER CONFIDENCE - Shows fake attitude.

For example;

If I say I am suitable for this job it's my confidence and If I say I am the only one Suitable for this job it's my overconfidence.

Confidence is characterised by having positive and realistic beliefs in your abilities.

Overconfidence is when you have an excessive belief in your abilities; it can cause you to underestimate something and make mistakes.

CONFIDENCE is something which pushes our inner self to a level positively without any hesitation or nervousness, but at the same time.

OVER CONFIDENCE is something that suppresses our polite side and raises up an ultra energy of you only succeeding again and again, and no one can do better than you, which leads to downfall!

Confidence is like I will complete my work with all my efforts and over confident is like no one keep effort like me on given task I can only finish it no other. Here we can take turtle and rabbit story as an example.

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 when you do something that knows you can do it at hundred percent (100%) and you do it efficiently and effectively without having to face mistake or failure. While Over Conference is trying to do something you know well in more hundred percent 100% (100%+) and you started eagerly, proudly and arrogantly but you fail to do it as required.
