We should learn to take genuine pride in a job well done and not expect praise for one simply carried out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.
The work must be its own reward. I got that early on. And I'm blessed by meeting my own standards of excellence.
We should be proud of our country when we have done something to be proud of, when we have lived up to our own standards. But the flip side of genuine pride is being able to recognize when we have fallen short, and to hold ourselves to account.
All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride.
In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
It's a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so.
Some prideful people are not so concerned as to whether their wages meet their needs as they are that their wages are more than someone else's. Their reward is being a cut above the rest. This is the enmity of pride.
I do believe in praising that which deserves to be praised.
We take pride in what we do.
Praise now is one of the great duties of the redeemed. It will be their employment for ever.
