Cocky Vs. Confident


There is a difference between cockiness and confidence. What's the difference you ask? People who are confident are able to validate it with intelligence and personality, unlike people who are cocky who have no real ground to stand on because there is no actual basis for their cockiness. I think confidence in yourself is a good thing. Though people may praise you for accomplishments no praise is better than self praise.

Its never good enough to do things for the sake other people so why would it be good enough to only accept praise from others. Being able to acknowledge that you've done a good job is not a bad thing. Its' actually what motivates you to continue to do good things. I had a friend tell me self praise is no praise at all, well to me self praise is the best praise, it says that you are aware of who you are and understand that ultimately you have to answer to yourself when all is said and done.

Cocky people are searching for reassurance, whereas confident people are just acknowleding what they already know to be true.
