Yes I do believe in self confidence a lot!

In my own words,, I will describe self confidence as believing so much in yourself that you can confidently handle challenges, taking strategic risks and coping with fears even when they seems impossible, being proud of your uniqueness and embracing your imperfections, making informed decisions singlehandedly and having positive energy towards achieving your goals.

Self confidence has a lot of advantages and benefits which includes;

1. Making one become a critical thinker and it fosters creativity as well.

2. Having self confidence bring so much happiness, you will learn to appreciate yourself and be happy for who you are.

3. Having self confidence will build your self esteem, making you perform better in all aspects of your life.

Lastly,, self confidence can simply be referred to as having so much believe in yourself, abilities and uniqueness, even when the whole world seems not to believe in you.

What is the difference between self-confidence and overconfidence and how should both be kept under control?

Self confidence and overconfidence has differences as follows;

1. Self confidence makes you willing to learn. Whereas, overconfidence in the other hand won't make you willing to learn, because you will always feel that you know it all.

2. Self confidence deal mostly with reality. Whereas, overconfidence is mostly grounded on making assumptions.

3. Flexibility and adaptability are the characteristics of self confidence. And overconfidence is the direct opposite of this characteristics.

4. Overconfidence increases anxiety, fear and the risks of failure is high. While self confidence in the hand is the opposite of these negative effects of overconfidence.

Is there any task which was not possible for you but you completed it through self-confidence?

Yes!

Back then in school, during our 100level second semester, we were giving a topic to present on, and my department was divided with different topics for each group.

My group appointed me as the leader, I don't really know what made them to appoint me as the leader though, but I guess they saw self confidence in me.

So on the day of presentation,, I started well but along the line, I almost went out of line because of the overconfidence I had at that particular time. It almost seems like I won't end well, because overconfidence stepped in.

But thank God for self confidence,, I was able to do away with overconfidence and then I believed in my self that I could end this presentation well, even when the rest of my group members were already losing hope, I believed in my self and I confidently and perfectly ended the presentation. The power of self confidence made me finished well!!
