As a rule, don't listen to anyone who tells you to "take pride in your work." Usually, that means "I want your sense of self-esteem to be dependent on the work you do for me", which is pretty much emotional manipulation in its barest form.
To me, work is not the same as paid labor (even though work can be paid for by others). Work is a substantial part of life, just like love, parenting and nurturing one's friends.
