Life Is Always Changing
Knowledge is power but the more we learn, the more we should understand how little we actually know. If you don't make an effort to be positive and open minded you won't develop as a person. If you stop developing you start to wither up and die inside. It doesn't matter how much of an outwardly successful person you are, having too much pride leads to failure. You will lose track of what is important to you, your values and your feelings and that is the path to destruction.
Life is always changing. Society is developing and humans should also be developing with it. But if you have closed your mind to all knowledge you cannot develop. f you have too much pride you may feel that you know it all already but that is not true. How could you possibly know it all if life and society keeps changing? The more we understand how little we actually know the more we learn, as knowledge is power. If you don't make an effort to be positive and open minded you won't develop as a person. If you stop developing you start to wither up and die inside. Having too much pride leads to failure, no matter how much of an outwardly successful person you are. The path to destruction is when you will lose track of what is important to you, your values and your feelings.
Don't confuse believing in yourself with having too much pride. You need to have belief in your own abilities or you will never become successful. You can accomplish almost anything you set your mind to with enough self belief and positive thinking, the latest brain research suggests.
You will grow as a person if you look for the opportunity in every situation you are faced with. Because you opened your mind to the possibilities life can offer not because you got lucky, success will happen. If you were carrying too much pride, your mind would be closed to all these new chances and this would negatively affect your results.
Asking other people for help and guidance can also be prevented by having too much pride. On your road to success you do not need to be a pioneer. Find other people who have been successful in your field and don't be too proud to ask them how they accomplished it. Pick up some of the fantastic self help books on offer from your library or bookstore and don't be too proud. Why not fill your mind with "I can do this" and remember happiness is an indication of the contents of your mind rather than "I know everything there is to know and don't need anyone else's help!"
Don't let fear of rejection hold you back. Yes, the person you ask for help may laugh at you and be dismissive but that says more about their over abundance of pride than it does you as a person.
