We absolutely don't mind people who strive for greatness, as long as they remember to contribute back to society and don't run off to Switzerland or Monaco with all their money. We just don't like boastful overly prideful US-style "look at me!" self-aggrandizement and egotism. You did well, without exploiting other people or breaking the law? Good for you, and good for society when you give back! Just don't be a dick.
