False confidence is the kind we shouldn’t have. The effects of liquor are a good example.
Some drunk sees a short bow-legged young man walk in to a West Texas bar and somebody whispers the new arrival is a champion bull rider.
The drunk looks the bull rider up and down...short, wiry and young and says...Champion? Heck, if HE can be State Champion I could be Galaxy Champion. To prove this he heads for the mechanical bull, but even set on ‘driving the new baby around the park’ speed, the mechanical bull tosses the falsely confident drunk in one second and he ends up in the hospital in traction.
