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.
Mow Patterns Using the Modified Debris Flap. Mow the perimeter of your lawn. Mow a checkerboard pattern. Mow the entire lawn, back and forth, either horizontally or vertically. Change directions and mow the lawn again (if you first mowed horizontally, now mow vertically). Mow a diagonal pattern into your lawn.
