Why are people more confident than they should be? Is it good to be 'overconfident'? Sometimes we trust ourselves more than we need or should. We are not ready to accept that we may not be bad at something. Imagine suddenly encountering a leopard or a wild bear on the road and having to deal with it. You have no weapons/weapons in your hands. You face life unarmed. Who will win this battle? Bear/leopard or you? How likely are you to win if you imagine yourself fighting a crocodile, cobra or chile unarmed?
