Pride have always been an enemy to succeeding in life! The fact that people now only see having money as success is something we also have to look at especially in the African society! Helping others and not expecting them to bow to you is success!
The saying that 'pride goes before a fall' applies to all phases in life. You get too proud at a particular phase, you may drop back to the previous phase!

The feel that one has arrived and can now oppress others is really not a good idea if we want to also arrive at the next phase. Trust me! pride makes one too blind to see there is a next phase!
