Well, most adults feel proud of their accomplishments, whether they are connected with their professional activity or personal growth. For example, people may feel proud when they get recognized for their work, get a promotion or high-paying job. Also, people may feel proud when they support good causes, make charitable donations or help their friends and relatives resolve problems or conflicts. Another thing that makes people proud of themselves is when they manage to deal with some life difficulties. For instance, some people manage to avoid repeating the same mistakes, persist and don't give up when things get tough, overcome their fears and reach their goals. Finally, people may feel proud of the status and wealth they achieved, for example, if they managed to buy a car or flat, or something they had been dreaming about for a while.
