440. A self-made man

```

He says

He is a self-made man.

I pity him.

I feel sorry for him.

I accept his apology,

Immediately.

He says

He is a self-made man.

I hate him.

I hate his haughtiness.

I trust not his insincere claim.

I discard his meaningless life

With its useless achievements,

Immediately. ```
