Confidence, Over Confidence and Under Confidence

In Ramayana we see three characters where we can identify the level of confidence in them. 

Hanuman ji, when monkey armies were in full anxiety about who will cross this huge ocean?Immediately when Jambvant Ji indicates Hanuman Ji, He realized his power and He confidently accepted the challenge remembering Lord Rama in his heart he jumped for Lanka. 

Confidence is quality of goodness where person always situated in knowledge and he knows his strength very well.

Ravana, King of Lanka when Hanuman Ji destroyed whole Lanka and warned Ravana to return mother Sita else ready to die from the hands of Lord Rama but due to over confidence of his power he completely ignored warning of Hanuman Ji.

Over Confidence is quality of passion where a person only think of achieving things and due to attachment he forgot his original strength.

Kalnemi, Ravana's powerful soldier but when Ravana went to Kalnemi and asked him to block the path of Hanuman Ji and explained strength of Hanuman Ji how powerful he is, Kalnemi afraid by power of Hanuman Ji because of he was not confident of his own strength against Hauman Ji and when he go to block the path of Hanuman Ji he took form of sage.

Under Confidence is quality of Ignorance where a person can not be confident about his own strength as he has never applied his strength against any challenge.

From above characters we can understand a person who is situated in full knowledge can develop confidence, and in passion develop over confidence and in ignorance under confidence.

A person who see everything through his senses in full knowledge can always remain in Confidence.

Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job.
