We Do Not Like Arrogant People

We do NOT like arrogant or conceited people. People who think they're smarter than us, faster than us, better than us. In fact, deep inside of us is a cheer section that gets activated when arrogant people FAIL or fall on their face. Pride is like that. It just "smells bad" and never looks good on you. But what if it's possible that WE have a little more pride going on (under the hood) than we realize? And what if it's the case that pride is EASY to see in others but nearly impossible to detect in the mirror? And more importantly, how we can we keep the kind of "smelly arrogance" at bay?
