Confidence vs innocence

Confidence, should be or not. Generally, people say that confidence is must for success. I agree. It is easy to find parents encouraging their children that be confident, friends putting hand on shoulder that be confident.

OK. Be confident is fine. But then question is why should i be confident?

Just cause my friends say so. NO

I haven't put in much effort but i think i am smarter than others. NO

I prepared. YES

I believe i can cause i understand what to be done and how to be done. YES

So line is not between confidence or over confidence. It depends on source of confidence.

Instead of confidence innocence i think is better way to approach anything.
