Do not hide your scars. Because where you are going in your life is more important than your scars. Do not wear anything to cover your scars. Let them out. Reveal them to the world. Be proud of your life. Be proud of your journey.

It is through our scars that we learn humility. It is through our scars that we learn more about ourselves. And it is through humility that we endure our scars.

Your life is more important than your scars. Instead of hiding your defeats, your failures, your disappointments, why not celebrate them? Don’t say, “Why me?” Say to yourself, “Thank you, Lord.” Whatever you are going through in your life, do not give up. Do not see it as a problem. See challenges as opportunities to grow yourself, your life, your career.

Do not be afraid to try something new. If you fail at first, try again. Be passionate about your life. The problem is to stay passionate about your life. There are always going to be problems, challenges. You can’t live a problem-free life. It is how you handle your problems that will make all the difference. Herbert N. Casson said, “There are always obstacles and competitors. There is never an open road, except the wide road that leads to failure. Every great success has always been achieved by fight. Every winners has scars. The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves.” If you want to succeed, you must face your inner demons.

Pride is a weak person. He wants you to be like him. He loves himself more than anybody. He is just living. He is so weak and poor. Pride is purposeless. He doesn’t care about anything, but himself. He talks a lot about himself. He lives in his own world. He does not feel what you feel.

Pride always looks down on people. He does not see anything above his head.

Pride goes to his work without love. Because he does not have love. He can’t love you. The only person he can love is himself. When you come in contact with Pride, do not expect love from him. If you do, you are going to be disappointed.

Pride wants to live his life, but he does not know how to work. He expects something from nothing. He does not know what he wants. Pride wants to be successful, but he is lazy. He doesn’t want to be humble. Pride lacks humility. His next door neighbor is not humility. Pride cannot live with humility. He can only live with himself.

He knows everything. He doesn’t want to learn from anybody. Pride is his own mentor. That is why he can’t get anything done.

Pride doesn’t listen to anyone, but himself. Listen, he is a hard, difficult guy to deal with. If you don’t know who you are, what you want, and where you are going, you will find it very difficult to deal with Pride.

When you are dealing with Pride, you have got to be strong. If not, he is going to make you uncomfortable. He knows how to do that.

To deal with Pride is to be vulnerable. When you are dealing with Pride, you must be specific with what you want from him. If you can do that, you will be his friend. Do you want to be his friend? It is up to you.
