Hahahaha! I'm proud of everything I do.

What's the problem? Is it that difficult to be proud? It's just a what? Feeling? Attitude? Thought? I'm pretty sure pride has no material substance.

Believe me, the abstract nonmaterial stuff is a lot easier to acquire than the material things. You need money to get the material things, but thoughts, feelings, and attitudes are free for the taking!

I can't believe you would deny yourself pride. It's a great feeling!

Unfortunately, pride goeth before a fall, as they say, but what the heck, there are plenty of sayings to help you get back up on your feet again.

Accomplishments? ACCOMPLISHMENTS??? What the heck is an "accomplishment"? Say it over to yourself ten times and you will drain it of it's meaning. Most words are like that. They have very little meaning of their own. They simply acquire meanings as they get passed around from person to person.

Technically, to accomplish something simply means to finish it. Did you write that email, Henry? Yes, dear, I accomplished it.
