Very correct definitions of pride sir
pride is also thinking that breakthrough idea came because you are too smart, neglecting the God factor.
To keep from straying into pride as you wake up daily say it aloud to God "i humble myself before you", that consciousness keeps you in check.
I couldn't agree less with these words of yours:
It reminds me of what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 4:7. Here's how the Living Bible puts it:
My pastor, Rev. Niyi Eboda would say, "For everything remarkable, God is responsible."
We've got to always remember this and behave like this is true because it really is. Thanks @adorablechi
