Pride and Humility

"Pride goes before a fall" as the saying goes.

With pride comes confidence.
With the confidence comes egocentric.
With egocentric comes pertinacious.
With pertinacious comes misdirection.
With misdirection comes failure.

After failure comes self-realization.
After self-realization comes reflection.
After reflection comes humility.
After humility comes guidance.
After guidance comes direction.
After direction comes success.

Pride goes before or after a fall?
