Be confident, but not arrogant
Self-confidence is important for everyone. Determination and perseverance can help us achieve our goals.
However, we should not be over-confident because that can lead to failure.
Those with an aggressive attitude cannot do a job properly. They are too proud and fail to grab every opportunity.
Having self-confidence is a good thing, but don't turn it into a disadvantage by being arrogant.

From the Editor
Thanks for writing, Terence. Confidence is one of the keys to success. It helps us to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.
Besides, people like making friends with those who are confident. When you are confident you look better and brighter. You will be more attractive.
Confidence can also contribute to a positive attitude towards life.
You do not have to be pretty or intelligent to be confident. Confidence comes from within. Everyone has their own strengths and talents. All you have to do is trust yourself and have faith in yourself.
But you are right, terence, being over-confident could lead to failure. When you are over-confident, you don't listen to others' opinions. And people might be annoyed by your attitude. So be confident, but also be modest.
