Never be too Proud of your Position in Life

Pride of our achievements is very good and one should always take that. But in pride when we start looking down on things and people around us then that's where our own downfall starts. In my corporate career and in my general life as well as on the platforms that I am currently working on I have seen this happening. When people are on their way to moving up, they are very humble, when they reach the top their whole attitude changes, they lose their grounding and they forget the people who have helped them on their way up.

This is where I always say how Good to Great matters. Pride works in both the ways; it can boost us and it can also doom us. Pride boosts our ego but when that ego starts blowing out of proportion then it can doom us as well. When the feelings of arrogance and superiority start seeping in, we start moving away from everyone and that's where we start losing support also of people who have been supporting us and have been instrumental in our own growth.

Taking pride along with being grateful and humble increases our respect and that's what makes such people Great. A person's true achievement in life is not on what they have achieved but after what they have achieved how they have behaved keeps them on the top. The true example of one such great person is the Indian business man Ratan Tata. If you talk about him to any Indian, they feel proud of him and they will tell you stories about his humbleness. Despite of being the No1 Business man of India, he comes out as the humblest person on this planet. Such is the real example of a successful person in life.

When we reach the top, we should never look down on people around us, neither should we forget how people have assisted us in our journey, even if we go above them. No doubt that a lot of hard work goes in achieving success but that should not become one's ego and arrogance. The very feeling of superiority means we take others on inferior position and that's nothing but our ego speaking for us.

This is what I personally feel, believe and also practice. Giving Gratitude, because Gratitude dissolves the I and makes me understand that everything I have achieved is just not because of me, but because of too many other things and people around me who have contributed in some or the other way towards my success. Gratitude makes me appreciate and acknowledge the help and support I receive for my own success.

Being Humble makes us truly Great and Pride makes us Egoistic. But as I again say, it's not wrong to take pride in achievements. One should but it should be with a feeling of Gratitude and Humbleness and not with a feeling of arrogance and superiority.
