Pride, pinyin is à o g incarnation, which is an arrogant, self-respecting, powerful and unyielding character metaphor: proud body, clean hands.

Later, it was used to describe arrogant and unyielding character.

According to a young writer in Zhejiang, once Wang Lao went to Wenzhou, a local leader heard that his handwriting was excellent and asked him to write four big characters: "incorruptible".

Another official asked him for words, but gave him the words of Tao Hongjing, a hermit in the Southern Dynasties: "What's in the mountains?" ? There are many white clouds on the ridge.

Indeed, one should not be arrogant. With pride, people tend to be conceited and think that they are capable and superior to others, thus becoming arrogant. This is a harbinger of his future failure. With arrogance, when words of praise and flattery come at him when he succeeds, he will be on cloud nine, unable to listen to criticism and advice, unable to distinguish between true and false and right and wrong, and eventually fail.
For such people, success is tantamount to "poison". But there must be "pride" without "pride". What is pride? That is, you should have ambition, self-confidence and indomitable character. The road of life is bumpy, failures and setbacks will come at any time, and cold eyes and satire will follow.
To treat these things is to sigh and attribute the reason to "lack of talent" and never recover? Still not afraid of ridicule, looking for reasons and facing difficulties? It depends on whether there is "pride". Confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to success. People who are proud and confident are not discouraged after failure. On the contrary, they will continue to explore on a new basis.
