Formspring.me - You love confidence but hate cockiness? You have to elaborate, what exactly does cockiness mean to you personally?

Confidence is when you know you're good. Cockiness is when you brag about it to others. If you're good, people already know it. You carry yourself differently & it shows. There's no need to tell others how good you are because others will say it for you. You stay humble.
Cockiness doesn't actually mean that you're good. It just means that you have a big mouth. Some would call that swagger but true swagger should not mean bragging.
In sports terms, confidence would be Steve Nash & Tim Duncan in basketball. They know they're good & you know that they're going to beat you. They don't need to get in your face about it. Cockiness would be Chad Johnson a.k.a. OchoCinco in football. He brags about being the best but when it comes to making the plays in big games, he's MIA.
In terms of women, confidence would be Beyonce. Strength, talent, humility, & beauty. Cockiness would be Paris Hilton, who has none of Beyonce's qualities except maybe beauty...maybe.
