How does arrogance compare with confidence?

Multiple question, question. =)

How would you define a person who is arrogant, then how would you define a confident person?

How can each hold their own positive and negative qualities?

Since arrogance is socially considered a bad trait; how would you humble a person/yourself if they/you are/were arrogant? Looking for "success" stories.

Not much to say, but just peaked my interest as I looked at some personality charts that passed my view online.

    If he can do it, it isn't bragging and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. But not at someone else s expense.
    Either way this is one thing that you will not get arrested for. But if you want to do well in life learn how to treat others with importance. Now you might say I don't treat you with the aforementioned, but if that were the case I would not say anything.

      Thank you! That is very true. They say actions speak louder than words, and some people possibly receive your message negatively, but miss your positive action. =)

      Glad to hear from you. =)
