Myth Blog 2: "Hubris"

"Hubris" is excessive pride. One time I was guilty of this was when I made a science fair project several years ago. I made a display showing several glasses of water, one with salt, and an egg has been placed in each glass, seeing if it would float. This is an example of "hubris" because I felt good about myself and was telling others about it.
