"Don't stop until you are proud."
While driving around town this morning, I saw the above inscription on a little girl's shirt, and it got me to thinking. Looking at the word as short and straight to the point as it is, it sure means something.
What does Pride mean?
According to various dictionary definition, the word Proud/Pride means "having a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements. It also means having a high opinion of oneself."
The word Pride goes before fall also comes to mind when looking at things, but, I believe we all should be proud of ourselves and whatever do.
I Feel Blessed!
Following up with today's word, it simply means, you should never stop pushing and never stop believing in yourself. It takes work for many to see themselves as important enough to be taken seriously and that stigma has a way of making even the most hardworking being, give up on himself.
Take pride in yourself and what you do, and do not wait to complete your assignations before you are proud of yourself. The world will celebrate he who comes out bearing the candies and only winners get candies.
Being proud of oneself is different from being arrogant. A sense of fulfilment of purpose stems from the understanding that, you are sure of yourself and the things you do. It leaves you with "I can do it" attitude. You are just so sure that, you will never stop working to become better at what you do.
Remember that, everyone else is out there doing what everyone else is doing and only those who know their worth will be able to come out at the end with a win above all else. You are in physical who you are in the spiritual.
In whatever you do, don't stop until you are proud. Always have a high opinion of yourself because, when push comes to shove, you can only give what you have.
Make the world a better place for someone today!
You are not to look down on yourself if you want to be a great person someday. Know your worth and invest in it. Even though pride is not applicable everywhere, you need humbleness to create a diversified ecosystem for yourself. May we all be great @ejemai
Well said bro
There is a thin line between being proud and being arrogant, and that is the problem cos people often time don't know when they hit and pass the thin line
Mr @ejemi been a long time sir, how are your family sir?
This is absolutely truth sir.
We must believe in ourselves and in what we do and work towards our high opinion. With that we will be proud of ourselves someday.
We shouldn't give up on till will get there!!
In trying to explain your experience as you were driving around your street this morning @ejemai, you made another powerful statement that got to me!
That’s so true, it all starts from within. Thanks for the word.
The secret to life captured by one powerful word.
That’s it. Don’t make life more complicated than it needs to be my friends.
I agree, this kind of pride is different from arrogance...Thanks sir!
