Pride has it's place at work, in the home, and for maintaining self respect, etc.
BUT....always remember what Mary Haines (played by Norma Shearer) said at the end of the motion picture classic "The Women"; "Oh Sylvia....Pride is a commodity a woman in love can't afford..."

Yes, in some senses.
Pride in family, friends, in God, is an emotion that will increase your self-esteem and happiness with life.
However, pride in one's self will cause you to stray in order to feed it.

I ffeel that pride can be useful, to an extent. It is human nature to wat to prove to other people their feeings of superiority. This come from a neanderthal istinct to preserve food for the young one's starving. That is a n extreme case ,I know. However, pride can get your work noticed in high-powered business meetings, and can result in upper-management wondering why we haven't moved this giuy/girl before. Be careful, however, not to confuce confidence for arrogance. That is a sure fired way to get kicked out the door.

You bet it can, but it can also be used for evil purposes. It can get in the way of doing something that really needs to be done. Ever have a bunch of type 'A' personality people try to work together? Everyone has their own idea of how something should be done and they can't agree on anything.
