CONFIDENCE v/s OVER CONFIDENCE

Life comes with ups and downs and how we see these ups and downs in our life decides our future. There is no shortcut in our life, neither success has. I have a small story based on this. A very small story so here we go. Once upon a time there were two friends named Ryan and Sam. They both are really good friends they used to play and laugh together but , both of them had different perspective of seeing life. There is a lot difference in their attitude. Both of them were facing certain problems.

 Ryan who belongs to a rich family was not a positive thinker, his attitude towards life and problems also were not positive enough. He thinks that only the problems he's facing is big while everyone's problems he takes for granted. So his attitude is totally different, also he was over confident upon his skills and also his behaviour towards others was not that good. He believes that each and everything has a shortcut.While on the other hand, Sam  who belongs to lower middle class family was totally opposite from his friend. He saw things in a positive way his attitude towards life is very positive. He faced each of his problem with a smile in his face and positiveness in his thoughts. Although his problems were big but he knows one thing that Problems are temporary some day these problems would finish. Because he was confident and he believes in himslef and also he knows that there is no shortcut in Life. One day both friends meet and discuss about their lifes Ryan discussed that he has  too many problems in his life, so does Sam also said, Ryan who was fully aware of the fact that his friend Sam had bigger problems than him, but his attitude did not let him understand that Sam has bigger problems. Ryan smiled and said "If i were in your place i will definitely solved these small problems that you were facing". These words hurt Sam because he knows that Ryan knows each and everything about his life and his problems and he's behaving like that. So, Sam make a bet that after 4 years they both will meet and saw that who will ultimately solve his problems and who will not.

As the year passes by Ryan whose problems are not very big, starts on increasing by each and every day, while on the other hand  Sam whose problems were big starts on decreasing year by year. Ultimately the time had come, 4 years are over so does their bet was, it was the judgment day they both met on the same  place where they used to play, Ryan was now a Seneior executive in a leading company and he thought that he had succeded enough than Sam in his life,  As he was very over confident upon this, after a few hours Sam arrives with his Brand new white Mercedes. Sam and Ryan both shaked their hands, now Sam was a CEO of a leading company. Both discussed about their life and their achievements. Ryan Said " so the wait is over now?" Ryan asked To sam "what you do? Do you know about your promise?" Sam smiled and said, " yes! Yes! I know that we had took a promise 4 years back, and now we were meeting just to know that who had succeded enough in his life. Ryan said "yes!, you knew that". He said- "I am a Seneior Executive in a leading company". What type of work you do? Sam had a smile on his face after knowing the name of the company, he said to Ryan "I am a C.E.O. in the company in which you  work." Ryan after listening this was in a shock for a moment, as he did not even think that his friend Sam will achieve this much in his life. But Sam had achieved  this only by his hard work, he had a gentle smile in his face everytime, he saw each problem as an opportunity , his positive attitude and also he had confidence in his ability  Ryan had not succeeded this much   just because of his over confidence upon his skills, he saw each problem as a difficulty, and also his negative behaviour and attitude did not let him succeeded.

*Moral of the story is*:-  Your Confidene, positiveness and your attitude towards life and problems determines your success.
