Ego vs Confidence

Ego vs Confidence

 Ego is the self or "I" of a person. 

      I have heard or made reference to someones EGO more than a handful of times over the last weekend. So I decided to look and see what ego was exactly. I found that having an ego wasn't a bad thing if you keep it under control. I also found that people with the biggest ego's are usually scared and unhappy and have low self-esteem. The out of control ego will point fingers and blame others for anything especially their mistakes or, short comings. Occasionally the person with the out of control ego seems confident but, given time their true colors will show.

Confidence is the belief in ones own abilities.

        The most successful people that I know are very Confident.  We all know someone like this and  want to be around this person. Why? This is the person that inspires us. They are able to lead and follow equally well. They tend not to be self serving and usually fun to be around.
         There is a fine line between a confident person and an egotist. Egotist can be very confident but they tend to be bullies. Confident people try to persuade and not bully.
        
Which is better? You decide.
