Dear Cite HR,
One question that has been bugging me for a long time now... There is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. How to identify it? I see a lot of youngsters just entering the work life and actually spoil their chances by being arrogant and thinking that they are being confident. How to guide them? Any answers?

Madam,
Your observation is correct. If a person is confident in doing something, he can do it. However, there may be practical difficulties at the implementation stage. A newcomer with ample knowledge but less experience in tackling the situation naturally becomes arrogant. Therefore, the person should develop enough patience to navigate through challenging experiences, learn practical lessons independently, and then move towards a position of maturity. At that point, the arrogance will dissipate, revealing the confidence within, much like the sun emerging when the clouds pass away.

Dear Cite HR,
One question that has been bothering me for a long time is the distinction between confidence and arrogance. How can one identify it? I notice many young individuals entering the workforce who unknowingly ruin their opportunities by coming across as arrogant while believing they are projecting confidence. How can we provide guidance to help them differentiate between the two?
Any insights?
Regards,
Sandhya

Dear Madam,
It is on a few occasions only that I like and incline to participate in or reply to some posts or discussions in the forum.
The individuals, being a bundle of emotional feelings—anger, happiness, and sadness—are controlled by these very emotions. No one is an exception to the application of these feelings in daily lives. An excess dosage of any of these basic emotions displayed by us in any situation will gradually or quickly empty our common sense. The excess display of this disturbs one's normal self, and it takes effort and time to return to a normal state. Similarly, arrogance is an extension of our ego or our own reasoning for a cause known to the individual only. What is a simple application of reasoning or logic is downright arrogance to someone. On the other hand, in our mind chemistry, anything in excess, including confidence, is not good for oneself and for society, which is a group of individuals.
Confidence is the ability to apply known capabilities for a positive outcome. Again, this is a relative term because it is subject to situations and individuals' profiles or lifestyles. Overconfidence leads to many negative effects in any walk of life. Arrogance is a reflection of our rigid stance under any situation without giving leverage to the pros and cons of our analysis or judgment. Simply put, it boils down to adaptability to people and situations.
Successful people, whether in personal or career life, have this adaptability to maneuver through rough situations and deal with people. Many top leaders have failed successfully because of a lack of this single most important attribute.
This applies to more youngsters because, obviously, they have not yet experienced many situations and interactions. Success misleads them. Success is often taken for granted. It is merely a milestone, and in the journey of life, there are many milestones, ups and downs, terrains, roadblocks, surprises. Success and failures—only failures—mold us to face life.
Best wishes and have a good day.

Dear All,
It's a very good point of discussion. In my view, confidence is the feeling of "I can do it," and arrogance is the feeling of "I can only do it and no one else."
Hope all of you agree with this.
