Confidence is a state of being. A confident person deserves to be so. One is confident of a hypothesis or prediction, or the expected outcome of a particular course of action because of deserved merit. Merit that is built on true understanding, hard work or the mere fact that this particular trait is the quality that pushes one to eventually fulfill the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Arrogance is unmerited confidence. An arrogant person believes their thought and opinions are true because they are their own, not for any other reason. An arrogant person admits no limits despite the fact that humans are inherently flawed.

The only pity I have is for those whose confidence is misunderstood as arrogance. Make sure as a confident person you do not come across as being arrogant.
