Oh i learned that pride goeth before the fall big time! I was at college in Idaho, at the area of the Teton Mountains. Tons of snow and so this California girl decided to learn to ski. I handled the bunny hill very well. Didn't quite understand the black diamond markings for the ski runs. So i looked and thought i could go down a very steep, advanced run. NOT! Caught the edge of my ski on a mogul, hidden deep in the knee deep powder snow. Tumbled head over heels and tore up my knees. The ski patrol brought me down off the hill in a rescue tobaggan. Bad enough, but some dumb little kid had to add injury to insult by saying, some dumb lady broke her leg! LOL. Well to this day, i am reminded of my lesson, as i have arthritis in both of the injured knees and surgery scars as well.
Humility is a strength not a weakness.
