They are both equally important. You need the confidence to succeed in education. To take the classes you want and to have the condfidence to get a good grade reflects on who you are. The confidence also helps you to take the risks.

Education. A quality education will lead the person to an appropriate degree of self-confidence and the ability to do not only know what is worthy but to accomplish it. Self-confidence alone can lead the fool to cause great harm for himself and his society.

we should not confuse self confidence with arrogance and over-confidence. a self-confident person would automatically go for a required education. there are many educated persons in the world who are rotting because they lack self-confidence. many of the great leaders and managers of the world were uneducated but were confident of their plans.

education, because a self-confident idiot will simply make a fool of themselves time and time again and never learn anything out of it

education. knowledge is power. confidence comes from power. you feel confident when you are in a stong position, so the more you know the easier it will be for you to create a position of strength, and thus your self confidence will grow. . . education does not necessarily mean becoming a rocket scientist, perhaps you're a good skater, but you can still LEARN new tricks or skills. whenever you do anything, do your best and enjoy it, and you will learn something, and so you will become powerful, and self confident.

im an advocate of education. noone can replace that march that you go to towards the stage as your name is being called when you receive your first phd. nobody would regret all that pain for a $150,000/yr paycheck... believe me, there are a lot of beggars out there who are over confident.
