I believe you must have heard the saying, 'pride comes before a fall', but what does it actually mean? Yes, it says that all of us need to be proud of ourselves and what we have achieved in our life. Everyone is considered to have achieved something even if it is just getting out of bed every morning. But a person can have too much pride and that is where the danger begins.

Life never stand still and is forever changing. Humans beings should be developing with Society. But you can't develop if you have closed your mind to all external knowledge. When you have too much pride you may feel that you know it all already but that is not true. If life and society keep on changing how could you possibly know it all? The more we understand how little we actually know the more we learn, as gaining knowledge is power. If you want to be a fully develop person, make an effort to be positive and open minded. If not you start to wither up and die inside if you stop developing. It doesn't matter how much of an outwardly successful person you are, having too much pride can lead one to failure. You will start to lose track of what is important to you, your values and your feelings and that is the path to destruction.

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.

Also having too much pride prevents us from asking other people for help and guidance. On your road to success you do not need to be a pioneer. Don't be too proud to ask other people you find who have been successful in your field how they accomplished it. Don't be too proud to go into your library or bookstore and pick up some of the fantastic self help books on offer. Remember happiness is an indication of the contents of your mind so why not fill it with "I can do this" rather than "I know everything there is to know and don't need anyone else's help!"

There, never let fear of rejection hold you back. That person who you are asking 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.
