I had a discussion with someone recently in regards to the definitions leading from "pride". I wasn't entirely sure why they were asking, but after some pondering of what they were asking, this is what I came up with.
Pride is when you are proud to have done something or achieved something great. How pride is exhibited is what makes the difference.
Being humble is when you are proud of what you have done, but you keep it quiet and to yourself, and you may, or may not at your discretion accept praise and accolade for it.
Being proud is when you do show others your achievements but do not inflate yourself, and accept others praise of you.
Being egotistical is when you advertise your pride, and inflate your pride, to draw praise and accolade from others.
Being arrogant is when you demean others while being egotistical.
It is a layered progression. There is nothing wrong with having pride in what you do, but to be humble is much harder than to be arrogant.
