Believe in yourself,
People often fail to maintain balance between self-confidence and arrogance in their lives. Having self-confidence in life to achieve something is another task. Being self confident means trying to be best version of yourself. Keep updating yourself. We all are aware of the term humbleness or humility or modesty. How many of you have understood the true meaning of this word? How many of you have included this in your life? We try but we are not able to do it properly. Self-confidence and modesty go hand- in- hand.
Avoid Arrogance
Arrogance and humbleness are completely opposite on scale. Who is humble can be self confident. Self-confidence means to be best version of yourself. Being better than yesterday. By saying be the best version of yourself doesn’t mean that you’re the best in the world. The moment you start thinking that you’re the best in the entire world, your self-confidence turns into arrogance. There’s a very thin line between self-confidence and arrogance. People often get confused, they do not know when they became an arrogant person from self confident.
Self-confidence means I’m the best version of myself. On the other hand, arrogance means I’m the best in the world.

Have Self-confidence,
To grow actually; Self-confidence is great, Arrogance is not. Trust yourself to do the best. Tips to balance self-confidence and to avoid arrogance is to open your mind to learn something wherever you go. Now at this point when I say open your mind to learn, that means learn or grab the knowledge, skills from people who is equal to you, lower to you as well as higher than you. It’s hard to hear from people equal to you. The psychology behind this is when you hear to people who is higher than you, you put them in the position of authority. When it comes to hear people equal to you, ego and envy comes between. Lastly, when it comes to hear people lower than you, psychology behind is you think you know better and more than them. Everybody offers something. Learn from experiences of others. Listen to them, learn and grow.
Don’t go through life, grow through life!

I tried many tricks and tips to boost my self-confidence, many books and practising learning with listening helped me a lot. I guess it will help you all as well. ” Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince with oneself, one doesn’t need others approval.
