“When I'm feeling proud of myself, I should remember to ask myself why I think I am of any value at all. I have done nothing that a hundred thousand other people couldn't do, and most of them would probably do it better, and they probably wouldn't feel so self-important about it. I should always be ashamed of myself.” PeopleThinkingFeelsShouldImportantSelfDoneFeelingsRememberValuesAsksProudThousandHundredAshamedProud Of Myself Author:John S. Hall
“I'd have to say I'm most proud of my mentoring camp that I do in Dallas every year for one hundred boys from single-parent homes.

“I was taught in the sixth grade that we had a standing army of just over a hundred thousand men and that the generals had nothing to say about what was done in Washington. I was taught to be proud of that and to pity Europe for having more than a million men under arms and spending all their money on airplanes and tanks. I simply never unlearned junior civics.

“Be proud, Bonito, pretty boy. You can go home and tell your father, Yes, I beat up Ender Wiggin, who was barely ten years old, and I was thirteen.

“Be proud of your mistakes. Well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. And, more than that, and more important than that, make them. Make mistakes. Make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. Better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.” WellsKindMayImportantMistakePiecesWonderfulProudPaperHundredScaredTreasureStaringGloriousMaking MistakesBe KindBlankBe ProudRight WordsGreat Mistakes Author:Neil Gaiman
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done.

“In this poor body, composed of one hundred bones and nine openings, is something called spirit, a flimsy curtain swept this way and that by the slightest breeze. It is spirit, such as it is, which led me to poetry, at first little more than a pastime, then the full business of my life. There have been times when my spirit, so dejected, almost gave up the quest, other times when it was proud, triumphant. So it has been from the very start, never finding peace with itself, always doubting the worth of what it makes.” WayWritingFirstsLittlesHas BeensBodySpiritPoetryPoorDoubtProudFindingsHundredBonesNineOpeningQuestsBreezeCurtainsGave UpFinding PeaceTriumphantPastimeDejected Author:Matsuo Basho
