Question

1. Why does a person become overconfident? The reason lies in over assessment of his

capabilities. Sometimes people over-assess their competence and jump into situations that are

beyond their

2. Napoleon Bonaparte who became Emperor of France would say that the word ‘impossible

’was common only amongst fools. The overconfident Napoleon invaded Russia in the winter of

1812. This proved to be a big disaster.

3. Overconfidence generally leads people into misadventures, endangering their chances in life.

It is wisely said that any achievement is a result of two factors-one’s personal planning and

support from the external world. People take into account only their planning, generally ignoring

external factors. As a result, they are unable to foresee future developments. Hence, a great

risk of failure.

4. Then there is the question : How can one manage overconfidence? The formula is very

simple. Before taking a decision discuss the matter with other informed people with an objective

mind and when it is proved that you are about to go off the path, accept reality and say without

delay, “I was wrong ”.

5. Overconfidence is a flaw characterising people who lack the virtue of modesty. Modesty

makes you a realist; you become a person who is cut down to size. People of this kind become

very cautious; before taking an action they assess the whole situation. They adopt a realistic

approach.

6. Overconfident people live within their own thoughts. They know themselves but they are

unaware of others. Living inside their own cell they are unable to make use of the experiences

of others. This kind of habit is highly damaging to all concerned.

7. There is a saying that the young man sees the rule and the old man sees the exception. With

a slight change, I would like to say that the overconfident person sees the rule and the confident

person sees the exception. Overconfident people are always at risk. It is said that taking risk is

good but it must be well calculated otherwise it becomes very dangerous​
