Confidence and arrogance are both
traits of human beings. Both the traits are similar in many ways but their
existence in one's behavior makes completely different effects in their lives. There
is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Confidence is something that
makes a personality glow and helps creating better lives whereas arrogance dims
the personality and leads to a bitter life. Confidence and arrogance are both
very important factor that defines the personality. If a person believes that
he can achieve a task or a goal then this belief is confidence. However, if the
person believes that he and only he can achieve that task/goal then this
over-confidence is arrogance. The reason arrogance is unhealthy for anyone is
because it causes lack of discipline and results in lack of devotion to a work.
In the story of the turtle and the hare, due to arrogance the hare loses
discipline and devotion and henceforth loses the race. Confidence and arrogance
are both very important factor that defines the personality. This story is a
reminder of how arrogance can be a hindrance in the way of success.
Confidence is an important factor
when it comes to presenting oneself through presentation. Confidence helps to
reach out to the audience and helps to convey the message of the presentation.
Whereas, arrogance may lead the presentation to be harsh and rude to the audience.
It may also cause lack of discipline and respect to the audience. So, for a
better presentation confidence is a must attribute and it is better for the
success of the project not to be arrogant. As an IT personal one should rather
be confident than arrogant.
