Question

Poll: Being proud of yourself is a negative quality or a positive quality ?

Answer 1

postive quality

Answer 2

As long as your pride doesn't turn into arrogance or thinking you're better than anyone else, then pride is good.  

Answer 3

if you are proud of your good qualities then it is positive qualities.

Answer 4

It is good to feel proud of yourself as long as you keep it to yourself. Too often the ego controls the person and that is bad. Taking pride in the things that you do presents a good image to others. Things like standing up straight and walking tall show those around you that you have pride without you telling everyone you meet.

Answer 5

A positive  quality

Answer 6

I would agree both....

Negative Quality:

Let me first tell you why it's a negative quality... When it comes to achieving something that's some people tend to be very happy and thus yell upon with excitement and become uncontrollable. They try to show off as much as possible and try to earn a name, which is not the real way to earn so. You only lose your reputation and your earned name also subsequently starts deteriorating. So, I would say being proud of oneself is bad. It only acts as bad deed.

Positive Quality:

Even this a facet of being proud only. Being proud in one way (not excessively) is better as it  helps you achieve things that you want. For example, if you win a game you feel proud of yourself for a moment. With this feeling of pride, you will do even more better the next time also, as the feeling of pride drives in you, the spirit of confidence. I guess, being proud will help in life.

Interesting and a nice question Varun. I really appreciate you for making people aware of different qualities and it's dimensions, required in life to succeed.

Answer 7

If you walk around proclaiming your better then others it's bad. If your proud of yourself but kep that knowledge to yourself, it's good.

Answer 10

Being proud of yourself  is definitely a positive quality. If we are not confident about our selves , who will respect us ?

But , being over confident and arrogant is a negative quality .Some people praise them selves  too much and criticize and insult others .It is not tolerable.
