> I will be diligent and take pride in my work. YMMV, but this doesn't sound good to me. Outside the US especially, pride is not necessarily seen as a good thing. I work hard and and try to produce the best work I can, and to be pleased with it afterwards. All the same I'd hate to be accused of pride. (I recognise that there's more than one interpretation of the word, and that e.g. Wikipedia [0] distinguishes between good and bad pride. I mean here that having done good work, owning nice things, or living in a nice place doesn't make me a better person than anyone else. I think self-worth is better found in other things, but reasonable people will certainly differ.) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride
