Confidence and Competence
Did you know that there is a big difference between having the confidence to do something and having competence?
We often confuse one with another, and that becomes the source of our failures.
Can you remember the last time when you competed? Perhaps it was a competition of singing or a game of badminton or maybe chess? How well did you believe you were at your skill? What about the skills and competence of your opponent?
Did you believe that you were better? Was your belief based on your confidence or competence?
Suppose you lost. Would you consider that as luck or lack of competence? Were you overconfident?
We all have our answers to the above questions, and we can be right about them.
What's truly important is the fact that we need always to understand the difference between being confident and being competent.
In life, we will always come across situations where we have the confidence to make things happen even though we haven't necessarily done it before.
Having confidence doesn't always mean that we have the knowledge, skills and experience. It does mean that we dare to try, and if we fail, we can accept the results as new learnings and add them to our skillset.
What can you do:
- Practice gratitude. Be thankful for the confidence in your abilities
- Practice learning from all your experiences
- Practice sharing what you know with every one
- Practice knowing that it's okay to fail with confidence because every failure another step towards success
Being competent is not always enough. It would help if you also had the confidence to share it with courage.
