Hi all i just want to know from u people what u think about feeling proud.I mean what kind of work or activity or thing makes u proud may be something u have not done but wanted to be, no matters whether u will get the chance to do it or not.Its really not the easy task to fulfill all ur dreams which will make u proud but we can share here about our fulfilled or yet to be achieved or may be dream felling which makes u proud if u would have done that.Like someone feel proud if he could crack MBBS or something else.So come are share ur proudy dreams or may be something u already did which makes u proud.Like i wish i could be the pilot in air force and would have drive the jet at the speed of 1000mile love to serve for my country being an Air Force oficer.

Prudence is something I would never associate myself with! Though I know what you actually mean.

Sharing some personal things , I have never been swayed by any personal goals , infact i have never setany goals so to say.

I have been fortunate enough that people at different time in my life have come up with challenges for me and I casually took them in earnest and cracked them and that has been the story thus far!

I just wish it continues. Something I have always been proud of myself is that I have been able to establish peace with myself , whatever I did , do is totally in sync with what I believe and think and say. Mansa , vacha , karmna from Kabir been my favo , all time!
something i wish is if i can make people converge , converge on waht they think , what they do , relative to themselves , relative to others. That is very important because there is a lot of energy that goes wasted in sorting out these differences first with others , then with themselves.

I am an optimist and believe that it will infact be the culmination , a right one :)

PS: Bold faced being the answer to the thread!
 
I will never be proud but will be glad if i can devote my balance life for the good of needy and destitute silently without being appreciated by this world.
 
I am proud of each and every moment I lived till moment and the way I lived those moments. just .....

hazaaroN KHwahishaiN 'eisee ke har KHwahish pe dam nikle
bohot nikle mere armaaN lekin fir bhee kam nikle

still long way to go...........
(At the moment I am proud of my JL profile after seeing Mr. Ravi Chaudhary in recent visitors list. His knowledge of Jat History, The way He express his thoughts - incredible. Most of the time Its seen people start some thread with great enthusiasm and as long as its appreciated its good enough, but after few criticism, the thread is just closed. WHY???? When author is going to start some thread with some opinion he must ready to face all criticism and should be able to keep the thread in right direction.

I have seen somewhere in some forum how Mr. Ravi Chaudhary responding to his critics - with all proofs. I do not know the name of that forum, but in That He was discussing Jat History with some Digvijay - very impressive )
 
By the way what is so wrong about being Proud, if you have something to feel pride in !!!! I wonder at times,, why this word is taken so negatively.If you do something good, you feel proud of it. When you set a goal and achieve it, you feel proud, and many other things in life. There is nothing wrong about aspirations and achieving them. Rather without any motivation, one can do nothing in life.Well I had moments when I felt so, and waiting for many more to come to cherish them.

Neelam ji , might be you looked at this with some prejudice the author in itself does not say anywhere that being proud is a wrong phenomenon. My take was to keep the word prudence away but replace that with passion.
Same might be true for others. :)

I am all ears for your experiences!

Yes Anil, I understand Nishant didnt mean at all negatively. But then you mentioned prudence to differentiate between two,,, n then Dev sir said "I will never be proud "...so I said whats wrong about it??? n I meant not for here only...in day to day life many times I ve observed,, people react like that being proud is a crime. so my reaction was in general sense, not any particular

dear Rathee, when you set some goal & achieve it, you get satishfaction. satishfaction is a positive & helpful quality/achievement for the soul, mind & body. you also feel happy when you achieve your goal. Happiness is the highest achievement. Proud is a nagetive quality, a nagetve way of expressing achievement & it is harmful. I personaly feel, one should be always humble, satishfied & happy on any achievement/completion of work/result. However, if you get some satishfaction & happiness in feeling proud on your achievements, nothing wrong, go ahead.
 
I feel

Nishant Bhai,

I feel proud when i set a goal for myself and achieve that even a small goal or big one.
I feel proud when i do something which can not be done by much capable person.
 
For all those who have doubts about meaning of Proud being negative---proud   –adjective 1. feeling pleasure or satisfaction over something regarded as highly honorable or creditable to oneself. 2. having or showing self-respect or self-esteem. 3. highly gratifying to the feelings or self-esteem: It was a proud day for him when his son entered college. 4. highly honorable or creditable: a proud achievement. 5. full of vigor and spirit: a proud young stallion.
 
Please try understand the connotation first.


He is a proud father as his son got a Gold medal from IIM: Let other say that and nothing wrong in it but if this father says i am proud of myself to have a son like him will not be honorable.Yes his being proud of his son's achievement will still be better.But if father says that......'God is kind and i am humbled by his blessings'...will be too good and others will have better respect for the father.



Rest do the way you feel comfortable please.

Correctly said Dev sir, Proud is negative emotion if it is shown by the same person. if u r directly saying i m proud of myself for so & so reason. that means, superiority complex and ego r being reflected. Here in yr example, i can accept the father statement some how, but if that son himself says, i m proud for this act, is totally wrong. Every citizen of India was saying, “ we are proud of Abhinav Bindra on his achievement in Beijing Olympic” Nothing wrong with this statement. But if he himself says the same thing than it will not give same meaning.

So it means Abhinav Bindra should not feel proud of his achievement... Strange ...!!!well no more discussion from my side.

Abhinav should feel only. There is a diff between both feeling and declaring.

Hi all i just want to know from u people what u think about feeling proud.

And i suppose that's what Nishant want to know and infact topic of the thread ....... about feeling proud but not about declaring proud.

Declaring proud was not a topic of discussion but people assumed feeling proud as declaring proud and they proudly like to feel and declare that feeling proud is like declaring proud.

What type of proud is this .... feeling or declaring ?

What i think if u have done some thing good u never need to declare it.
This is the work which will show the greatness of ur act. If some one appreciates u for ur work that will be real proud feeling rather than feeling and declaring by ownself, ok fine u should feel proud for many things but it has to be declare by someone else that's what i think.

And who is that someone else .... a common person who don't know you, a person who is your critic, a person who is your close one and always appreciates you, a person who always admires you. Who is going to authenticate that if someone is 'declaring' then it is really a matter of feeling proud otherwise not.

A common man have nothing to do with your personal achievements for which you dedicated your whole life and he is not going to declare anyone of your achievements as a thing to proud of. It's none of his business. While your close ones may always appreciate your every step and even may declare your every minute success as a thing to proud of. How can you distinguish the real thing to feel proud of between these declared and undeclared proud certificates.

Well, i don't like to make it too complicated for you, it just the way how you analyze yourself and your achievements depending on the circumstances and surroundings. Proud is not like any certificate that you need from any authority or organization but it's just a feeling when you accomplish something you wish for and achieve that. That's the time when you feel proud that you achieved something.

This is just one of the many things on which a person like to feel proud of. :)
 
I feel proud when my work is appreciated and i get deserved rewards/awards for that. This is not only for job even in personal life :)
