I am proud that I can make some household repairs now, mainly as a result of learning through YouTube. My wife comes from a family where the men can fix everything, so my lack of handyman skills was embarrassing. BTW, I'm proud of my new skills, but my family doesn't notice much improvement.

My work (software engineering)

Building my own homesteading place with my own hands and without any specialized knowledge in construction. Just learning by doing it. It was my life dream to do it and now I am so close to bring it to reality...

Raising my kids.

Nothing, if I can help it. Pride is blindness. Not trying to make a killjoy holier-than-though point here, it's just worth saying because it's so difficult to remember. A constant battle.

Proud of my cooking? Then I'm blind to advice from "worse" cooks. Proud of my physics insight? This one is personal for me, because I am. Which means I don't know what it makes me blind to :(

Proud of my nationality, race, religion? Blind to the potential value of the "others". It's in all cases stupid, that's why its a sin, i guess.

I've interacted with a few radically angry bitcoin maximalists on this site. What is their common trait? They are proud of their vast knowledge. Blind to the wisdom of fools. Proud of yourself? Blind to becoming better.

It's a constant battle, especially if you are like me— extremely smart, competent, and really, really, really ridiculously good looking.

My wallet collections to hold my Bitcoins

Learned to read and speak english by myself just to sate my never-ending curiosity since I was a kid, no school or special training.

Somehow the same happened with programming, after I was playing with 2d and 3d art, aiming to create something fun like videogames, I discovered the magic ingredient I was missing: "Code".

Now I'm a Full-stack web dev both as a job and hobby.

Drank my last alcoholic beverage over 17 years ago.

The capacity for independence.

Despite negative experiences growing up I learnt a new language to a basic conversational standard in 12-weeks. I am proud I have kept learning and, although I am usually quiet and stand-off ish, now look for opportunities to practice. Not very humble perhaps, but useful lol

I used to think that having a full life as a parent and teacher would leave me with zero time and energy for writing. But somehow, I prioritised writing, made it a non-negotiable and usually manage to churn out some writing every day. It may not be perfect but I don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.

I'm proud that I orange pilled myself, and have adjusted my life accordingly

making my own stuff, I just make my own soap, dish washer salt without the toxic chemical

I take pride in hodling Bitcoin

not responding to your bullshit posts

According to your caption, I take pride in doing the very right thing and helping people out.

Having learned seven languages in my life so far, two of which I speak at a very high level of proficiency, one which I'm quite good at, and three where I can get through some conversation and small talk, and lastly Italian that I started to learn nine month ago 🇮🇹

My diet

I take pride in defending the network and setting a bitcoin standard in my city giving out the correct information good or bad and the man I've grown into

My veggie garden. Love growing my own food, nothing more satisfying than eating home grown produce. Providing my wife and kids with whatever fresh, organic produce I can makes me happy and proud
