100 % Confidence

Sometimes I am surprised by the people saying " I am 100% confident". I think confidence is a trait which comes to a person based on his experience & knowledge. If I am correct there is no one in this world having 100% knowledge. There are so many detail things for even a small topic that is difficult for a person in one lifetime to grasp. As our knowledge level increases, progressively confidence increases like 50% to 60% to 80% to 90% to 99% and so on...

It should not be 100% otherwise there will not be any scope to increase our knowledge.. and most important thing if it will be 100% then next natural thing will be an infinitesimal increment to it, which we call as over-confidence. Over-confidence as we know is not a good quality of a person. So better to be less than 100% confidant.

Denying help: Is it a natural tendency

I was quite confused about this topic. I will tell you an incident in a train journey last month. I was coming back from one of my official mission. There was a well educated girl travelling by same train in fact in the same compartment after finishing her MBBS. She was going to her hometown. In the morning at around 10 Hrs, I planned to charge my cell. There was only one charging point at the gate. The girl was already there to charge her cell. After 5 minutes she came back and started reading some medical book. Her cell was still charging there. I also started listening music. Then after some time the attendant came from other side and told something to her and she went with him to the gate. When she came back I asked her how long will she charge coz my cell getting discharged. Then she told it is no longer there, it's lost! I just asked how then she smiled & said that "there is no problem, I am loosing my cell every four months and that was with me for around 5 months".
During our talk I came to know that she is one of my school friend's batchmate. Then I told her if she wanted my cell to call her family... but again she smiled and said " no thanks, my father would have known by this time that I have lost my cell". She talked to me nicely whole journey but not taken any help.
Earlier I was thinking that people doesn't take help from strangers. But it was really of different kind. May be it's the showy nature of a girl or self esteem of her which had prevented her from taking help or may be enough careless or may be she is rich enough to forget that event avoiding any action or complaint.
If it was the last case then I would suggest she should donate her cell once in a 4 month to poor people so that she will get some blessings in return!!
