Arrogance

We can definitely be victims of our own success. One reason is that success can make us arrogant since
we now have a reason to feel superior. Society heaps value on the winners and forgets those who
came in second. And long track records of success almost certainly create an “I'm superior” attitude
the more we allow the outside world to influence our ego. When everyone is telling you how great
you are through sales, comments, and awards, it's easy to start thinking that you are better than you
actually are.
