Not completley!

If people can brag about how much money they earn or how wonderful their children are, why can they not be proud of their background?

I shtam from the Divrei Chaim. We were always taught ‘Maaseh Avos Simon Labonim’

Make your ancestors as proud as possible and aim to be the ultimate Yiras Shomayim.
