"Often, we define pride as a feeling of pleasure from one’s own achievements. That definition is simply too narrow. Pride can be best described by thinking of a balance scale that consists of two plates hanging at equal distances from a fulcrum. On one plate we place our will and on the other plate our willingness. Pride occurs when our will outweighs our willingness to learn, be open to the view and feelings of others, and put aside our selfish will in life."
