A former and famous world heavyweight boxing champ, considered among one of the greatest sportsman of all time was also infamous for bragging, often saying, "I am the greatest!"
Once before the take off on an airplane the stewardess reminded this boxer to fasten his seatbelt. "Superman don't need no seatbelt," he told her with pride.
The stewardess was unwilling to compromise. So she retarded, "Superman don't need no airplane either."
The boxer was naturally discomfited in his pride. In shame, he fastened his seatbelt without saying an extra word.
Pride can block a person from being open to the views, trends and wavelengths of other people and situations. Even shutting out God from our plans, proposals and journey - under the impression that 'I can do it all'.
