Question
Expand the idea on your own on the following topic.
Pride goes before a fall
Solution
Each one of us is truly special. Our achievements in life are the result of painstaking efforts, but one must never be blinded their achievements. Wise men have rightly said that ‘Pride goes before a fall’, meaning a show of vanity and over-confidence more often than not destroys a person. Basking in the glory of our success is only natural, but what takes us higher should also make us humble. This valuable lesson is taught to us through the popular story of ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’. Gloating in his ability to run fast, the hare shamefully loses to a tortoise! Thus, we realize that ‘Pride makes way for one’s undoing’.
