As I grow its clear to me that pride is the opposite of the humility,the better qaulity. Pride in its self is selfish which leads to egos and self absorbtion, two things that not only knowone likes but also one of the first things that someone notices. I have a couple deer mounts in the house and almost of my rods are built by me, yeah I take pride in what I do but I'll be the first to admit that I don't take credit for it. I beleive all gifts come ultimently from God, sure MikeCC showed me and PNG showed me and Saltheart showed me just to mention a few, but someone had to show them. Even what we've learned on our own has got to be recognized as gifts for them to have significate falue. The only real thing I can be proud of is in my kids and even that should be put in its place. I am like an adoption parent in this world. Humility should be the focal point after any acommplishment . Knowone cares how many 50's or how many hours you put into your season or how many plugs you have spun... KNOWONE CARES.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
