Sure, but confidence is also a virtue that can carry you far further than humility. I try to take the approach that everything I think I know is correct, but that I need to reevaluate when presented with new information, and I constantly look for new information to disprove what I know. The subtle difference here is that I assume I'm right, which gives me confidence. I used to doubt everything, which led me to being very noncommittal and unconfident. It's important to question your assumptions, but it's harmful if you completely distrust them.
