Generally speaking confidence is good in terms of result you achieve from the task you are doing. However there is no real way to measure it. Of course you can measure with the result of your past action. But again, that really don't tell the ability of controlling the result of the future action. So you may be over confidence. When you reach at that level, I mean over-confidence, your sense of learning, listening, planning will go away. This make significant fall back for your personal growth.
One of the best think of being child is their ability to learn and listen and apply those to the life. That the reason you see growth in the child. They tried different things. They listen to the different source, ask questions and so forth.
I was listening a lecture from one Hindu Saint in the temple, last week. She was talking about this subject. She explains how to find you are in overconfidence. She said, if you are leaving all your work at the end than their are high chances that you are in over confidence. Another one is, you do not apply different approaches to try things out. I think it means you are not listening. And, my favorite is, you think your are right. She further said that when you do that and fails, you internally get upset, angry and try to find a way to blame others. And then eventually your find yourself in pressure and you put others in the pressure too. This make lot of personal problem in terms of efficiency, health and wealth. Yes, this will certainly hurt your financial as well.
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Any overconfidence in your ability, willingness and need to take risk may be hazardous to your health.
Confidence build your life and ruins too.
