Intention is the deciding factor.
Its ok to have a pride in genuine achievement. A world champion can say that fact, because its true.
If the intention is to become the "BIG MAN" then exageration creeps in and humility is out the window.
Its all quite subtle. However, humility takes you forward, and egotism while at first inflates you will lead to deflation.

There are a lot of interesting posts by people early on in the thread.

Okay. Well said. Humility and being grateful seems to keep us in good place in many ways.
