Task 4

Difference between Arrogance and Confidence.

Arrogance is an ego and is a feeling of self importance that usually includes some kind of feeling of superiority to others. A person with arrogance needs to prove or show others that he/she is better than others. This desire to rise higher makes the person attempt to lower other people. An arrogant person may seem to ignore any areas of weakness and only play up areas of strength, but they often do so because of an inability to come to terms with weakness. Body language of an arrogant person differs from that of a confident person. The effects of arrogant behavior are usually quite negative. People who are arrogant tend to offend those they encounter by doing whatever it takes. Arrogant people shows off as often as possible, and they are not honest to themselves.

Confidence is a feeling of self-assurance, a feeling of trust in a person, reliance, good faith. They are confident in themselves, they trust in, depend on and have faith in themselves. A confident person accepts their weaknesses or faults, even though they may not like them. This acceptance enables the confident person to handle faults with grace. A confident person need not make life a competition, so a confident person is often much easier to be around. A confident person usually has a balanced and realistic image of himself/herself. A confident person is not threatened when others do well. A confident person rarely will be found lecturing to others on how they are wrong. A confident person knows where he/she stands. Those with confidence have a positive and optimistic attitude.

A confident person feels competent from the inside out, in every task they are given they genuinely try and use their talent to complete the task. This doesn't mean that an arrogant person do not have any kind of skills. In some cases an arrogant person may have more skills than a confident person, but the confident person will always tend to use whatever abilities they have with more calm control than an arrogant person.

So, we can say that a person with arrogance have to face many problems with their life and a confidence person also do have different problems in their life but the difference is the way of dealing with the problem. A person with arrogance tries to ignore the facts about the problem but a confident person deals in a different way to their problem. Arrogant person cannot deal with their problems in calm manner like a confident person does.
