PRIDE a word a lot of people use when describing things they are proud of. I Pride myself in my work or I pride myself in a certain skill. But having too much pride can be a very dangerous thing. Especially if you lose focus or sight of the opposite of pride. HUMILITY
 I am in Spirit of Faith's Bible Institute and the only class that I had trouble with was Humility. I have humble tendancies but I was more prideful than anything. But as I am learning and you should too having too much pride can be hazardous. Let me give you a few examples:

1. Have you ever went to work and left your wallet (or just plain broke) at home but didnt realize it until lunchtime. Now it's luchtime and you are hungry with empty pockets but refuse to tell anyone that you have no money. Your pride won't let you.
2. Have you ever been driving and tried to get over. The driver in the car beside you knows you are trying to get over but refuse to let you. What do you do? Do you humble yourself and get behind them or do you force your way over whether they let you in or not? Well your probably tried to force your way in and if you were not successful you gave them the finger and whatever verbal abuse you could muster from inside your car.

These are things I have done and probably things you have done too. But in Phillipians Chapter 2 we learn how to imitate Christ. In the Message Bible it states  ^1-4If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
