What may replace pride?

One said that it is easier to replace something than to delete something such as bad habit. In general my pride is too high that I will feel I am better than others when I am high and feel I am worst when I feel low. Both cases hurt pride. 

So the question is what may replace pride so that we can be more humble?

One suggestion is curiosity. When we are curious, we do not care so much whether we perform well or whether we will success in getting the end results. We are simply curious on learning or getting to know something.

Another is love. When we love something, we don't care whether we will be embarassed or if we do not get something in return. 

Third is probably openness. This can be done by asking questions and observing the surrounding. It is similar to curiosity. This is just to remind that sometimes curiosity makes us focused on something. Openness is different in the sense that we are trying to open with all possible relevant inputs from our surrounding.

In practice, what I can do is to ask myself when my pride feels hurt. Can I really not stand this? Where is the proof that my self can be measured by an event or performance. 

Also, instead of angry to myself who often is too proud, I can also build the habit of asking myself constructive questions such as what can still be done instead of blaming ourselves.
