What's the difference: confidence and arrogance and ambition and greed?

[Jon Stark]

What's the best way of phrasing the difference between these concepts? There's a fine line and I wonder who here can coin the differences best.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Success. History is written by the winner.

Social skills.

Confident and ambitious people tend to be perceived as arrogant and greedy by loosers.

 

[Organic Damage]

It's confidence when they like you and arrogance when they don't.

It's ambition when you succeed and hubris when you fail (greed really isn't the opposite side of the coin, IMO)

Can you be "greedy" for success? An ambitious person could be qualified that way if they were boundless and reckless in its pursuit.

Interesting take. Rack him.

These are all different words. Look up the actual definitions and you have your answers.

Die in a fire.

Well that was unnecessary

I was being quite serious, and if I wasn't on my phone I'd post the definitions to show you what I meant.

Ambition and greed aren't close to being the same, although greed might be drive ambition.

I proposed the question to generate a philosophical discussion and or lulz not have some dweeb get all technical and reference a dictionary. Get outta here with that junk.

Confidence is belief in yourself. Arrogance is belief that you're better than others.

The difference between ambition and greed is that ambition is the desire to achieve more than you've currently achieved and greed is wanting things for the sake of wanting them.

I'm not getting technical, words have meaning.

Your question is pointless.

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?

 

[HunterSdVa29]

arrogance is often misplaced, or irrational confidence.

Exactly this.

Words have meaning.
