Confidence and over confidence

 Both confidence and overconfidence mean the same but the only difference between them is the level towards which we take these traits. Confidence is believing that we can achieve anything but if we take it a notch higher it becomes over confidence that is where the person feels that he is the only one who can achieve anything.

A confident person never thinks himself as superior and always believes in the fact that others are superior in their own ways whereas a overconfident one thinks otherwise. The confident one always believes in continuous practice and learning while the one who is overconfident never believes in them. The confident one also realises that no body is perfect and everyone tends to make mistakes and they tend to rectify them whereas the other one thinks that they can never make mistakes. Finally the most important thing that tends to distinguish a confident one from a over confident one is the patience to listen to others which the first type of person does and the second doesn't.

It's not wrong to be confident but taking it a level higher could potentially turn the tables and there is a risk that you can loose everything in your life as confidence makes a looser into a winner but overconfidence makes a winner into a looser. So choose the path you want to tread on very wisely as one can make you and the other can break you....

Sports team that I root for

I am a huge cricket fan and I watch all kinds of tournaments and matches in cricket but the one which I like watching the most is the IPL and my favourite team is the Royal Challengers Bangalore and I'm proud to say that I'm a RCB fan as I always support RCB through their thick and thin and whatever the outcome I would always support them. One of the reasons I support RCB is Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers the two pillars of RCB and apparently my favourite cricketers too.

The second reason is that RCB is not only about cricket but it's about entertainment too and they never failed to keep us happy even though even though there were times where they failed miserably. Speaking of entertainment there is one such person who never fails to entertain us in RCB and he is Danish Sait aka Mr Nags the RCB insider. He makes and posts a lot of videos about RCB which is extremely hilarious. Even though there is no guarantee of on field entertainment there's definitely off field entertainment in the form of Mr Nags.

Finally something which I adore the most is the RCB fans. Win or lose they never shift their loyalties and keep coming up in large numbers to show their support to them. That inspired me to keep cheering for RCB no matter what. I support RCB not because of the records and players but for the fact that I genuinely like them not only in their good but also in their bad times and as people say "If you don't support them at their worst you certainly don't deserve them at their best". Hence whether they win or lose I still love RCB and I'm proud to be an RCBian.

Education and intelligence: A thin line

There are many pair of words which almost mean the same but there is a thin line of difference and one such pair is education and intelligence. These like many other pairs mean the same but are different.

Education is acquiring or imparting knowledge to people whereas intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Unfortunately people are judging ones intelligence on the basis of education. According to them the people who are highly educated and academically bright are smart as a fox whereas the ones who are uneducated and academically weak are as dumb as a donkey. This misconception is unacceptable and needs to be changed for the better.

Anybody can acquire education rich or poor but only a few have the ability to apply the knowledge and skills in real life situations and intelligence can be acquired even without education. Intelligence gives you the ability to think out of the box, analyse and solve problems coming your way and you can even apply your knowledge in relevant situations.

Hence intelligence helps you in a lot of ways but it does not mean that education is unimportant. It's really helpful if you have both but to conquer the world intelligence can take you a long way and never confuse education with intelligence as you can have a bachelor's degree and still be an idiot.
