Pride Is Sometimes A Good Thing For example, taking pride in one's work, or taking pride in one's appearance, both of which exude an aura of professionalism, and are, IMO, a form of respect and even caring for (the needs of) others. In those cases, pride doesn't seem to have all that much, if anything, to do with arrogant egotism.

My take "Pride comes before a fall" is a set phrase, and it's the first thing that sprang to mind upon seeing the query. Some people call this kind of thing a cliché, which makes me want to give them a slap. I prefer to call them “sayings”, defined as “short, pithy, commonly known expressions that generally offer advice or wisdom.”

General Text The asker mentioned it is a general text. Because of that, I shied away from its English translation in a business context. And I'm not interested in the color of anyone's skin, or for setting up any kind of "opposition", one against the other. I'm only interested in hearing reason and truth come out of anyone's mouth. I hope that less and less people will stop buying into that kind of divisiveness. It doesn't lead to peace, or to any kind brotherly love, but to more and more chaos. The point is that I would never think of the phrase for which the translation was asked as having anything to do with race at all.

That's possibly because Carmenza has omitted to provide the context.

Interesting How this question has been interpreted in 3 different ways: as a psychological concept, as part of the business world, and from a racial perspective.
