Confidence comes from the understanding that success will be always accompanied by failure.

Confidence is the attitude of a person towards a job to which he or she is assigned irrespective of the results.

Over confidence is that one always expecting good results.

"Confidence" is that 'coming to a conclusion with positive perception duly calculating various factors behind in mind whereas "Over-confidence" is coming to a conclusion without calculations and vague insight at the object.

Confidence is an innate virtue in every individual. It is one of the building blocks of one's personality.

Now, coming to the question asked; confidence is when you know you are capable enough for any kind of work. Most importantly, it's when you believe in yourself. Overconfidence is when you feel that you're better than other, which is self destructive in some circumstances.

After taking some initiatives, realizing that the desired task is possible is confidence. Assuming that someone will help and makes our life better without even taking a risk is overconfidence. Though it works out for fewer people.

Confidences mean a person can share knowledge and information free to a person without any problems and mental pressure.

Overconfidence means a person gives fake knowledge and information may hide the secret or any information and lies to give information.

Confidence says I have the ability to crack this interview but on the other hand, if I think that I definitely crack this interview shows my overconfidence.

A person should be confident with their decision but not be overconfident.
