Pride is self-importance and self-focus -- which leads to selfishness which is selfish thinking and selfish acting -- which is the opposite of Jesus' command of agape love (John 13:34).
Mowing Direction. Finally, you should mow your lawn in different directions each week so it does not lay down one particular way. If you mow the exact same direction every week, your grass will be trained to lay one way (much like training your hair to lay over) and this will cause issues.
Wait until the grass is dry to mow the first time. Avoid watering prior to the initial cutting to avoid wet grass that may tear or clump. Plan ahead when determining your mowing pattern to avoid excessive traffic over your new lawn during the mowing process.
