Too much confidence

Being confident is an art that not all are master at, but like every other habit, having too much of confidence can be too bad for your growth. Too much confidence gives you a superiority complex which can sometimes kill your growth in your personal life or professional life.

An individual should be humble. One should gauge the risks involved. One of my distant relative was a flourishing businesswoman until she murdered her business with her wrong decisions. She thought that then income that is flowing into the household is stable and that made her not plan her investments wisely. She was so confident that the income would never fade, but she was so wrong. A new businessman in the same vicinity as hers opened a smater business model and all my cousins customers flew to him. My cousin was left penniless. The woman who always taught others about being optimistic, now was pessimistic herself.

Had she not been over confident and planned her investment wisely she would have been doing well. Being over confident is actually what she did wrong.
