“Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people feel sure of themselves before they fully know what's going on. Think about a time when a student thought a test was going to be easy. They might feel very confident. Then, they start the test and realize they didn't study enough, and the questions are harder than they thought. That confidence came from not knowing all the details. In our everyday lives, this means we should stay humble and prepare well before feeling overly confident about something. By having a clear understanding of the challenges ahead, we can still feel confident, but it will be based on solid knowledge, not just assumptions.
