What would you add to a lesson on pride?

Oh my! Maybe I should come to seminary that day! I could use that lesson.
I would add Pride cometh before the fall. It fits in all situations and along with each of your questions. Thanks for bringing back around again. I think a lesson like this is a lesson that we continually need to hear throughout our entire life. Thanks for sharing Karen!
We gave Sacrament Meeting talks on Pride/Humility recently! It can't be talked about too much because it's not something that you can really complete, or cross off a list - like Visiting Teaching, FHE, or daily scripture study. You can get 100% humility for the month!
I meant you CAN'T get 100%. (proof-read *before* you submit comments, Sue)
wow - thanks for sharing. It gives me more insight as to what a FABULOUS seminary teacher you must be!
I actually remember one of my seminary classes (one of the few that has stuck with me) on Pride because it was so eye-opening. It was my soph year of HS, Bro. Romrell, Book of Mormon and I can't remember the specifics to give you any suggestions, but I think what you have shared is right on the money.
GOOD JOB! You should share how it goes.
