“The bottom line is this:\u00a0proud people tend to talk about themselves a lot. Proud people tend to like their opinions more than the opinions of others. Proud people think their stories are more interesting and engaging than others. Proud people think they know and understand more than others\u2019. Proud people think they\u2019ve earned the right to be heard. Proud people think they have glory to offer.

Proud people don\u2019t talk about failure. Proud people don\u2019t confess sin” (Tripp, 175).<\/p>\n
