I won't say I have heaps of experience in life encounters. But thus far I have met and worked with a heterogenous group of people; I am impressed by the self-confidence of some whereas I equally admire the humbleness of others.There is also another group of people whom are totally over-confidence, which makes me shake my head a little. Don't get me wrong; many of these are really genius. I am absolutely envious of their intelligence. But no matter how smart or great you are, there is always still room of improvement. However if we are get too proud of our capability, we tend lack the urge to want to learn from others, since we thought we are already the best of the best. It is just like the rabbit competing a race with the slow tortoise. The rabbit should had won, but because he overestimated himself, or I rather say he underestimated the supposed to be slow tortoise, he lost the race in the end.
Then there are also time when we start doubting ourselves. Can we really do a good job? Can we handle it? This is the time to get some confidence booster. Have some confidence in ourselves. Who knows we could do much better than we thought of ourselves.
I do not feel comfortable working with people who are over-confident, although it should have not bothered me. But their self-centeredness does create certain obstacles in a teamwork. I guess finding a balance between confidence and humbleness is the way to go. We should just be confident in ourselves and in whatever we are pursuing/want to pursue, in a moderate way. Not too much and not too little.
