Pride

To have pride
in oneself,
is
a tremendous asset.

It enables you
to achieve objectives
and
satisfy your needs.

It gives you
a sense of purpose,
the confidence to be yourself,
and a warm feeling inside.

At the same time,
pride can limit you,
when it is misplaced.

You can miss opportunities
to broaden your horizons.
An example may help you
to understand.
