takes pride
Values own work
Takes pride describes feeling satisfaction and self-respect about one's accomplishments, qualities, or associations.
When someone takes pride in their work, they care about doing it well and feel good about the results.
The phrase often implies active investment rather than passive satisfaction: She takes pride in keeping her garden immaculate.
Taking pride can be healthy self-regard or, when excessive, veer toward vanity.
