Take Pride in Your Work

Many people mistake pride for selfishness. However, it's okay for you to have pride in what you do. You are a valuable person, and this article will teach you on how to have pride, while being humble and accepting the fact that there will be some people that are better than you.

Steps

  1. Be confident. Stand straight with your head up. You don't have to force a smile, but you could manage a little grin. Show the world that you are proud of what you accomplish in your life.
  2. Talk a little about the goals you accomplished. This doesn't mean you should boast about yourself, but just say that you are very pleased you completed those goals.
  3. Don't let people bring you down. Just walk away. There are some things that you are better at than they are. However, always be friendly to everyone, including those you hate. Respect others exactly the way you wish to be respected.
  4. Do good. Help people who need to be helped. Be polite to everybody. Try not to be judgmental. Don't be so childish. Doing this not only will make you even more proud, but also other people will be proud, too.
  5. Act like the person you want to be. Smile, have a positive attitude, and find a mentor or role model of who you want to be. Find out how you can implement things that they do into your daily life.

Tips

  • Always be kind! This is the golden rule: treat others the way you want them to treat you.
  • Keep in mind that being prideful is not the same as being arrogant. In fact, it's the exact opposite.

Warnings

  • Some people might not like the new "prideful" you. Oh, well. It is who you are, and nobody but you can change it. They need to respect that. Be patient and give them time, and they will come around.
  • Don't take it too far. There are limits to everything. Boasting about every little detail you do is seriously annoying, and it's neither nice or beneficial to your family and friends. It's also very annoying.
