I'm not sure about "pride". But I love the feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment I felt on the occasion of my graduation from college, upon earning my MBA, when my son was born and, later. when he graduated from Cornell and Fordham Law. I felt good when I paid off our house. I felt great when I received promotions and awards in the Army. I was very happy with myself when, as a high school teacher, I helped a young gal overcome a horrific family situation and helped her graduate. I felt extremely satisfied when I got a call from an Army General thanking me for helping him get into West Point when I was his Company Commander in Basic Training. I smiled from ear to ear when I ran into a Staff Sergeant who told me I changed his life when I Commanded that Basic Training Company. He told me he had been a bum with no future but my influence helped him become a Professional Soldier, Husband, and Father. Tears came to my eyes as he thanked me. Now I I am happy as I look back on my life and look forward to spending the rest of it with SUPERWIFE in a happy retirement, exploring, travelling and just having fun.
So i don't know about "pride". But feeling GREAT when you accomplish meaningful things is wonderful.
