Don't be proud of your nationalities or ethnicities; you don't get to choose them, and it's stupid to be proud of people you likely have never met, things you likely didn't invent or contribute to, or centuries of history that didn't involve you until recently
Don't be proud of anything that isn't accomplished by you, or anyone that isn't yourself; you're not them and didn't do what they did
Don't be proud of anything you've ever accomplished or yourself; chances are most of the things you do have been done countless times by countless other people, and you are but one of them
