conduct. In our day to day life, pride at times drains our
energy but sometimes we really needs it to excel.


Patriotism is a devotion to one's country, excluding
differences caused by the dependencies of the term's
meaning upon context, geography and philosophy. In a
generalized sense applicable to all countries and
peoples, patriotism is a devotion to one's country.
It is a related sentiment to nationalism.

productivity because of increased conflict;
inability to attract and retain talented
people of all kinds; complaints and legal
actions; and inability to retain valuable
employees, resulting in lost investments in
recruitment and training.
