4. Pride Trotz, Stolz

Languages are great possabilities to challenge ones horizon. Learn something new, understand “foreigners“. Trying to speak a foreign language proofs respect for that culture.

The line between fear and pride is nearly imperceptible, at the heart of pride is the fear of looking stupid. Pride convinces people to feel justified, in quitting. Because for prideful people approval is sought at all costs, even at the cost of succes. Prideful people like to appear as if they have everything figured out. They are terrified of being wrong, or worse they are afraid of appearing vulnerable. This fear puts them on very dangerous ground because people who have been captured by this category of pride wont ask for help. They wont ask questions, and they don’t want to do anything to challenge the status quo. To overcome this type of pride one must understand that vulnerability is a good thing. It inspires us to seek continual learning. And most important, it grants us the courage to change. Pride causes people to experience feelings of entitlement, they expect maximum results for minimal effort and throw their hands up in the air when things don’t immediatelty go their way.  Well, news flash, the world ows you nothing! This is a hard reality to swallow in a world plagued by patterns of entitlement.
