Self-confidence is not the same thing as ego. This is not to say that the two donโt (frequently) dance hand in hand down the street, pushing over old ladies in crosswalks and kicking baby kittens. But they are definitely not the same entity. Ego is thinking you have all the answers. Self-confidence is knowing you donโt have the answers, but being pretty sure that you will be able to find them.
