One's pride or One's principal in life?

Being naive or standing up for one's pride, which do you prefer?
Well if it's me i'll choose to be naive if i am too live up to my principal which is; satisfy other first before yourself. Well it's not that i don't have a pride at all but one's pride can be keep inside when one's mind tell oneself too be humble. And if you're wondering whether or not people will step on you, then the answer is....YES!

Of course its human nature to step over things when given an opportunity especially when the one who's being step on is being lenient...Too lenient...sigh*
People may call it stupid and continuously stress upon one's naivety but is it simply naivety and stupidity?

It is hard to be naive when you yourself know what will happen; how they'll treat you,what's the risk of being one and furthermore will you stand living up to your own principle? For instance, when you are being too kind to others, they might think that you are easy to be manipulated but what they don't know is ONE is being kind with conscience and willingness..

Yes..its true that its not easy to be such person as at times, one will face doubt whether to continue being kind; satisfying other need before oneself or to be prideful and simply ignores them...

this applies to all sort of relationship...as a leader; when you become a good leader, then of course people will start to take light of you...and its hard to command them but the relationship are great...though it might be a double-edge sword; when there's problem in the society..the leader with highly sense of empathy will be feeling responsible for everything...sigh* so which one will we choose? being naive or being prideful? hmmphh...it depends on oneself...
