Before you shed your ideas and
thoughts, you should make yourself crystal clear with these two identical
terms, "CONFIDENCE" and "ARROGANCE". Going through the
dictionary I found Confidence coined as a faith or belief that one will act in
a right, proper and effective way while Arrogance resembles as an insulting way
of thinking or behaving that comes from believing that you are better, smarter
and more important than other people. Confident people are very aware and
accepting of their short comings and weaknesses but arrogant ones feel insecure
about it. Arrogance is all about trying to prove yourself while confidence is
about trying to improve yourself. Arrogance may lead you to a better future but
Confidence leads to a successful one too.

Superiority is the main quality of an
arrogant person. Arrogant people are single-minded; they either think that they
are superior to others or inferior to them. This arrogance may be nothing more
than a way to cover the feelings of inferiority they experience when dealing
with someone else. It seems they feel better when they tear others down. On the
contrary, confident people are high-minded, because they can feel good without
having a desire to offend others. They usually see people’s potential and can
help them succeed in something. Relationships with arrogant people can be a
great source of potential pain. Such people live in their own world of
self-importance and pride and nothing affects them. They cannot accept their
weaknesses or faults with grace, but blame others for them. A truly
self-confident person is able to show vulnerability and even admit past mistakes.
This quality is highly appreciated by others. By the way, arrogant people can
sacrifice friendship or other relationships at the cost of their success. Might
be now I think that I have make some clear points to differentiate the
confusion between the words "confidence" and "Arrogance".
Not only these many quotes are quoted in day to day life to symbolize the
greatness between these words and in due course here's one quote stating,
"To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence."
-Mark Twain, an American author and humourist.
By taking confidence as base I here
do not want to put shadow in arrogance, as arrogance is also a part of human
successful character, if taken in a positive aspects of life. A positive
arrogant have the feeling of if others can then cannot he, which leads to a
successful future. If there exists no arrogance then there will not be the
existence of confidence too as these two are often coined as the two wheels of
a cart. In some cases an arrogant person may have more skills than a confident
person, but the confident person will tend to wield whatever abilities they
have with more calm control than an arrogant person can. Finally, confidence
and arrogance have different origins. Arrogance is usually the result of a
defence mechanism used by subconscious mind in order to prevent further
criticism. Confidence comes from positivity, optimism and mental steadiness. So
now it's up to you if you choose to be arrogant or confident.
