I disagree with No.1. I understand the idea but the terminology is wrong in my opinion.

You should be proud of yourself. What you should avoid is arrogance. Proud people are always confident while arrogant people are insecure. Proud people know what they do. They are usually masters of their profession and they always like to do things properly. They don’t want to mess around and they definitely can’t stand time-wasters. Arrogant people often use their arrogance to cover their sloppiness and inability to cope with the task. Deep inside, they know they are not able to do the thing they are doing. They are full of doubts. (See http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/10-differences-between-pride-and-arrogance.html)

Here is my personal experience when I left Nigeria. I grew up in an environment where pride is frowned at. In the USA, I tried to be humble in every way. Guess what? I got rolled over. The assumption was that I lacked confidence. After a couple of years, I totally got the message and fully adjusted. I started getting the rewards. What we loosely call 'pride' in some places in Nigeria is 'confidence' in some other cultures. What they frown at is 'arrogance'.

When a lawyer, doctor, engineer, professor and even learned pastors etc talk, that is pride and confidence - it is not arrogance. What empty barrels do in Nigeria to cover for their shortcomings is not pride. It is arrogance.
I paraphrase from the above link again - "Proud people really know themselves well while arrogant people don’t. Psychological studies show that people with pride have genuine self-esteem coming out of knowing themselves well. They know what they are capable of and how to control their emotions. Arrogance is actually ignorance of knowledge."

Habits are characters or traits acquired over time. They are either inherited from parents or learned over time. The human body is a little child which always strives to be attuned with the dictates of the body in order to keep it in shape. The body adapts to these habits and once it gets acquainted with them, it becomes almost impossible to break away from.

There are habits we acquire that silently kill us. They also reduce the quality of the original life we are supposed to live here on earth. When these habits are not checked on time, they can lead us to an early grave. Death in the context of this article is not limited to the absence of breathe but also the absence of vision and passion which are the necessary drives for a fulfilled life.

Here are some of the habits that silently kill us without our knowledge.

1. PRIDE

What do you think you own that is worth being proud of? People who are fond of moving with a chip over their shoulders eventually end up becoming deformed. You have absolutely nothing to be proud of. Pride has succeeded in reducing men to nothing and has sent lots of dreams to the gutters. Many have missed lots of opportunities to become great just because of their pride.

Pride is a ride to the side of failure, reject it. No matter how small or big the person in question is, learn all you can from the person and move on.

2. PROCRASTINATION

This is the major killer of dreams and visions. If you can do it later, you can definitely do it now. What we always fail to understand is that our plans, dreams and visions have an expiry date. Take Bill Gates for example. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if he had delayed in pursuing his vision when he did?

There is no abomination greater than doing something out of fashion and style, presenting services and commodities that are no longer needed. The stupidest act of man is to do the right thing at the wrong time. Today is the day to do it because it may go out of style if you hesitate and let procrastination get a better part of you.

Tomorrow’s market may not need the dreams and visions of today. Never let procrastination take hold of your life, if you can do it later, you can do it now.

3. ADDICTIONS

Addiction is gradually taking over the whole world. The number of people with addiction cases increases with the break of each day. It is now believed that 4 out of every ten people are battling with an addiction. People are now addicted to phones, books, the internet, sex, drugs, food and the list is endless.

Addiction is a form of slavery. It enslaves the addict and unless freed, the addict who is now a slave continues to remain under the shackles or his/her desires and dances to the tunes dictated by these addictions.

Addictions lead to loss of quality time and visions. Give addictions a break and invest that time into your life.

4. OVER EATING

As humans we cannot do without food. We eat to live and not the other way round. Excessive eating of junks has been the major cause of cancer and other diet related health complications. To live a healthy life, we need to watch what goes into our mouth all in the name of food. Everything is permissible by the body but not all things are profitable.

Why should we live a life of mediocre when we can live a perfect life? Watch your life and live right.

Re: 4 Habits That Silently Kill You by abbey621(m): 2:34pm On Mar 17, 2017

There's no such thing as overeating, your body would naturally tell you when you are full and can't take anymore but the main concern here is eating all your body can take and living a stagnant lifestyle. People who overeat but are very mobile and active rarely gain weight because they burn up whatever calories they consume, this is why athletes such as defensive backs playing American football eat up to 8 times per day but are very healthy. We also have people who eat the right type of foods at the right time, if you eat a very large breakfast, a medium lunch and a very light dinner before 6pm daily along with drinking your body weight in water, you would be amazed at how healthy you really are!

Nice one OP. unfortunately average nigerians and nairalanders hardly visit threads like this that will add values to them... If it were to be the other type of news or topics........you can help me complete the rest.

@Procrastination...... this is actually a silent killer for many people, including my humble self. But this will act as a reminder anytime i am about to procrastinate.

One method i use in overcoming this is by writting my "to do list" with action date/time against each. I also tell my wife to always mount pressure on me untill they are done
