Super question! The word "pride" IS used two different ways...
The positive kind of pride is when you affirm your accomplishments. You give yourself credit and feel real good about something you achieved, whether large or small. This is THE KEY to building strong self-esteem, which is essential for quite a few areas of mental health and good interpersonal relations.
The negative kind of pride is when you refuse to open your mind to new ideas or refuse to take appropriate action because you are loyal to a set way of thinking or acting, and you don't want to depart from it. The refusal to do the right thing out of "pride" can be detrimental to self and others.

i think that positive pride is the confidence and how much you believe in yourself. the negative pride would be the insecurity you hold against yourself.

Positive pride is honour.
Negative pride is arrogance.

negitive pride would be like... some in the african America community would find pride in not doing well in school for fear of being called " to white ".. this is a negivite...
while the positive would be doing well and being proud of it..

There are lots of people who would laugh at the possibility of changing their fates. This is because it thinks that no one gets more that what is put in his destiny.
