Commentary | Over Confidence

inflated confidence

SavySeph describe overconfidence with the metaphor being endowed with the heart of a lion. Our version of fearless is eaten tiger's guts. It is the opposite of kiasu (fear of losing). We just need to find a balance of the two. There is the right time to eat the tiger's guts or take a kiasu stand. Our discernment is on when to be bold and when to fear is the key. This would either come from experience of gut feel or a combination of both.
