There is a happy medium with this, as with everything else. It's good to be able to see what you need improvement on and be able to laugh at yourself and be humble. On the other hand, there is NOTHING more annoying that trying to talk to a person who is never happy with what they've done (likewise, trying to complement or console a mate who is never happy with her appearance).
Self-confidence (not over-confidence) is impearitive for success. No one is going to hire the guy that (openly) thinks he's going to take over the company (l keep it as my secret plan), but likewise they are not going to hire the tiny mouse that can't squeak out anything that he is good at.
