And never let self-respect slip away.
However, it's important to understand the distinction between arrogance and self-respect, because the line that separates the two is often fine and elusive.
Arrogance keeps a person from ever rising higher.
It never lets one reach true heights.
One who is constantly preoccupied with himself - who always considers himself right and superior to others - ultimately closes the doors of his own growth and progress. His vision narrows, and he loses the possibility of true elevation.
On the other hand, self-respect never lets a person fall — because it preserves the balance between humility and dignity. It safeguards dignity while maintaining humility - preserving the inner balance that sustains integrity.
However, sometimes the distinction between arrogance and self-respect can be so subtle that it is difficult to recognize.
At times, we believe we are protecting our self-respect, while in reality, we are caught in arrogance.
And at other times, in the process of renouncing arrogance, we may also lose our self-respect — and inner strength.
Therefore, constant vigilance is required — to carefully discern the subtle difference between the two, and to choose wisely.
Otherwise, we may either lose our self-respect while trying to abandon pride, or mistake arrogance for self-respect and unknowingly set foot on the path of downfall.
Stay away from arrogance, but always protect your self-respect.

Arrogance never lets you rise.
Self-respect never lets you fall.
The line between the two is subtle —
So choose with care
For in that balance lies true elevation and the dignity of life.
