Blog 2 Myths

Hubris is when somebody is not aware of their limitations, especially in excessive pride. I once had hubris when I was out to lunch with my friends. I said something I thought was really funny, but nobody laughed. It was very embarrasing and I should not have said anything. They all laughd later at me, not with me, like I had wanted.
