The situation always seem easy when we are not the ones in it or the ones affected. I once met someone who was proud in a situation and I judged him totally forgetting that I can be proud too.
Have you ever encountered someone so prideful no one wanted to even deal with them. How did you manage to deal with them or you totally avoided them.
When I was at the University, I was given the post of class governor and I had an assistant as well. My assistant class governor is a young guy and the most popular guy in school back then. He was popular because of his swags and a lot of girls liked him.
I don’t know if that’s what has gotten into his head but he’s so proud.
When I call him for class governors meeting, he never shows up. All he does is send money to us so we don’t complain about his absence but he really wanted to keep the role of the assistant class governor because he liked the title. One day, we had a meeting with our lecturers but tgis guy didn’t come as usual. Since then, he was fired from being the class governor. He appealed three times but wasn’t granted that position anymore.
That’s how he lost that position because of pride.
Have you also ever been too prideful in a way? Did it affect you and your relationship with others?
There was a time when a guy was always texting, calling and begging me to be his girlfriend but I didn’t want to for no reason. I was too proud to attend dates with him and it got to a point that I started to ignore his calls. Truly, I liked him and wasn’t in a relationship but just wanted to stress him by being proud.
Suddenly, he stopped calling and texting me and later, I learned that he has a new girlfriend. He posts her picture every now and then and right now, the two of them are in Maldives enjoying themselves.
I can’t date someone because of money but who doesn’t like good things?
I feel kinda bad because if I dated him, I might have been in Maldives today since I really wish to get out of Nigeria.
What tips would you give someone who’s to prideful in all they do.
Pride comes before a fall. I won’t say you should not be proud but there are some situations that warrants you to lower that pride you’ve got in you so that you can get or achieve your aim.
Pride takes us nowhere and I’m sure that a lot of us mistake confidence for pride.
I know you may be very accurate and know what you do but learn that confidence is not proud and pride takes you nowhere but the floor because you are surely going to fall.
Lower your pride!
