Surah Al-Isra [17:37]

"Do not strut arrogantly about the earth: you cannot break it open, nor match the mountains in height."

وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُولًا - 17:37
There is a difference between assertiveness and arrogance. Same way there is a difference between authentic pride versus hubristic pride.

You can educate others without being condescending.

You can politely decline a request to offer support or guidance without being arrogant.
We have been talking about 'Buiding, improving, honing & utilizing your skills.'

Soft skills are very important if you want to excel in this life whether in your personal or professional life.

One of such soft skills is honest, empathetic assertiveness (not arrogance).
If you like have all the degrees and ertifications in the world, nobody wants to interact with an arrogant person.
I encourage people to use the Johari window for self-assessment and also do a personal TO WS Analysis. You will find out some traits that need to be addressed.
Check your behavioural excesses and behavioural deficits (which can show up on W during your personal TO WS/SWOT Analysis) and also the Blind Area in the Johari Window.

My dears, arrogance won't take you anywhere. Work on your self-esteem. Let it be healthy self-esteem.
Arrogant people are always “on tenterhooks”
• Their behavior is never sincere and genuine.
• They think they will never make a mistake.
• They therefore live in a constant state of discomfort.
Arrogant people regard everything other people possess with a jealous eye. They envy the beauty, intelligence, reason, moral values or belongings of others.

They are always have something to say about people. The nonsense superiority complex.

Haughtiness will make you crash.
You want to grow? Don't be arrogant.

You want to learn and update your knowledge base? Don't be arrogant.

You want to excel in life? Don't be arrogant.

You want to flourish in life? Don't be arrogant.

You want to shine and experience the joys of life? Don't be arrogant.
You mock people because of their income, physical features, health status, where they live, and trample upon the humanity of others because you think you are more knowledgeable, wealthier, healthier and better than them.

Calm down because na grave all of us dey go someday 🤷🏿‍♀️.
