Pride In What Matters

"If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well."  

         ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

If you're going to be prideful, take pride in the things that matter. Be prideful of what you do, not what you're called. 

And on that note, never tell a paramedic, doctor or nurse that you're just an EMT-B, and never try to justify poor care by saying "I'm just a volunteer."
