The important thing is always to learn. It doesn't matter what you're reading, what you're doing, as long as you're learning. Life is made up of stories, so always make sure to take stock of everything around you, and anything interesting that happens. It may someday make for a good story. But if it doesn't, it was still a learning experience. So go out, learn, live, and make a story worth telling.
The punishment for Pride is to have nothing to be proud of.
But how to achieve it? Well, there are the obvious things like making her unattractive, and to not let her be wealthy. Those are the obvious ones. But what of the rest? A short attention span is the solution. If she can’t stay interested in anything long enough to make her amazingly good at it, it will keep her from being prideful. An even worse torture is to give her the skills that would’ve made her better than most, had she the attention for it. Intelligence to spare, but easily bored by most anything. Grace and reflexes, but easily giving up. And endless curiosity, so that she’s always finding something new to sidetrack her from getting really good at what she’s currently doing. That last one is almost required. The best part is, she already had the aversion to boredom going in.
The ultimate punishment for the ultimate sin.
