Pride

What Makes You Proud?
What Gives You The Feeling Of Pride?

 

Getting things accomplished.

 

when i score better than my friends on standardized tests when i have lower grades than them and they think im dumb ..... they dont mean much, but hey.

 

i feel pride when i achive

 

Achieve what? I guess that is what I mean too when I say I feel pride when things are accomplished.

 

when l make my patients laugh and forget their troubles for a moment..

 

- the knots and knotted necklaces and bracelets I make

- the fact that when I train people on our software at work, I get praise for being a very patient and thorough trainer and an excellent teacher who can make anything understood

- the fact that I have earned a pilot's license and a skydiver's license

- the fact that I can think about and discuss subjects rationally

- the fact that I am an excellent driver and pilot

- the fact that I do not sexually disappoint women, and can have erections and orgasms for as long as/as many times as I want

when i acheive the things i was working towards

 

my kids

and my own determination.....God given, that is

 

i felt proud when i got sent an apology card that i didnt deserve but got anyway coz of my fighting skills

 

I don't get it.

What's the thing you're proud of, then? The fighting skills?

I don't know about being proud of getting an unearned, undeserved apology.

Could you explain the situation?

-Jeffrey

 

you wouldnt understand. i am not like you sorry.

 

When I do what I want despite people telling me I can't or shouldn't

 

my child, my accomplishments..the person i am today compared to previous in my life, my life...and the feelings of peace that i have inside now that i have worked so hard to get to(i will also be sad when they slip from me again and i have to remember again)
the fact that every job i have had my bosses love me and highly praise me, the fact that i am a good writer and expresser of my thoughts and also listener....

 

me because everything is exactly where it should be in by life right now and even though I thought I would be a kindergarten teacher living in santa barbara at 23 it's okay that I'm not because I've traded in one set of accomplishments in for another and if I was never financialy irresponsible or slow in finishing school I wouldn't have had the opposrtunity to have the job i have now, have a close relationship with my mom or basically be me. everything happens for a reason and usually that reason is beautiful.

 

Do you really think it would be such a good idea for someone who writes a five-line-long runon sentence to be teaching children?

-Jeffrey

 

every time i resist the urge to torture small animals, i feel proud

its not a problem that comes up often, but it happens none the less.

 

if it feels good, do it.

 

when people give me applause, warms my heart

 

actually I do a creative writting program for kids with a lady who volunteers at the library. it's nice sometimes grammar inhibits creative flow and thinking. i never use punctuation when i'm writting for myself and I didn't become a teacher because i can't stand how anal the administration is and how much they're into structure and not free thinking.
