Confidence is nothing but, If a person says that "I can do that or I will do that" so this is called confidence. So in this that person can achieve that and he or she can see the success in higher position.
So when comes to overconfidence If person says that " he/she only the person can do that work/ thing" so usually that is called overconfidence.
So in this stage person can not achieve the target.
And same time he/she comes from the higher position to lower position.

The only difference in confidence and over confidence is that.
Confidence can be feel only by self.
But you never feel that you are over confident, only other person tell you that you looks overconfident.
Because you also feel much confident when you in over confident.
For example I feel confident right now and you can only tell me am I overconfident or not ?

According to me there is a little difference between confidence and overconfidence. Confidence comes from the feel I can do this. But if you feel I can only do this then it leads to overconfidence.
For example I have confident to get this job it shows my confidence. If I have same confident to become CEO of this company for first time it leads to overconfidence. Confidence is necessary to a person to live in this competitive world but it won't become overconfidence.

Confidence brings greater chances for success while over-confidence brings greater chances for failure. Because when we are confident about something, we work on it and when we are over-confident about something, we take the success for granted and stop working, which leads to failure.
