HER DOOM~The Ink Well Prompt #100 Contest

avatar

In an uphill city is Kuay, there lives a young architect by the name Kristen. From childhood, he had always admired architects who drew and mold sculptures and displayed samples for sale. This creativity ignited her passion, she applied for architecture for her BA degree. She was so devoted that every time she has, she stays on to design different samples and mold different sculptures.

As she progressed in academics, her skill became even more amazing, she decided to work for a company, her working for this company was a blessing that ever happened to them as her ability to create extraordinary designs brought lots of patronage .

Kristen felt the need to go beyond the level she was. She decided within herself to make history. During her project defense, she made one of the best sculptures of the governor of the state. This was a carbon copy of the man. The news got to the governor and he came to see for himself.

He was amazed with what he saw which led to her life transformation. The governor empowered her which aided her establishment of her own company.

After a while, Kristen became so proud and arrogant due to the level she has attained. She was so full of herself that she didn't care what people thought or said about her. Friends and partners tried to talk her back to her senses but she paid deaf ears.

Her excessive pride and arrogance led to drastic changes in her growth, she lost lots of clients who could not tolerate her excesses. Her business crumbled and that was when the shackles fell off her eyes.

"How could I have allowed pride to destroy my career, I lost the best thing that I love to do because of what I allowed to develop in me".

Just like the saying goes, "no time is late". She decided to pick her pieces and begin again to build her reputation and brand .

No time is late indeed.
Pride goes before a fall as they say, Kristen is lucky to realize the damage she let pride cause her.
She can always get up.

Pride can be a double edged sword which can have positive and negative effects on someone. Kristen allowed it to affect her negatively but good thing she was able to realize and plan on her rebuilding to regain her footing. Thanks for your support @stellageorge .

Pride and arrogance can really ruin a person. That's why it is important to remain humble despite how far one has attained in life.
