Good morning! I like that - because I can think about it for a while...

Vanity and pride are close relatives. But I understand vanity more as false pride or pride in something that you haven't earned through your own efforts. I can't very well be proud if I win the lottery - that would be a lucky coincidence. But if I succeed in achieving an important goal, I think of pride as something positive. Vanity is not positive. And pride is perhaps often used incorrectly as a word.
