Here is a Chinese story about overconfidence.
The story is about a praying mantis that waved its arms
angrily in front of an approaching carriage, unaware that it was incapable of
stopping it? Such was the high opinion it had of its talents.
Like all vain men, the praying mantis had moments of
unreasonable confidence.
What you need to remember, with some of the guys from the
former Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host, is that they don't know they're con men. They're wildly
overconfident.
螳臂当车 (táng bì dāng chē).
A mantis trying to stop a chariot - to overrate oneself and
attempt something impossible.
