I'd disagree with that - never trying something you might fail at is cowardice, not overconfidence, and those are two independent attributes.

- rconti 7y agoIf you keep trying new things and you're great at all of them, maybe you're just really hot shit and I'm not sure the ego is considered "inflated" or that you're overconfident. Maybe it's just appropriate confidence given your awesomeness. Those who have overinflated egos and overvalue their egos don't try things they might fail at. Or, I guess, maybe some folks try things, suck at them, and make excuses/write off their failures as someone else's fault.
