Now its upto you how you use your ego. I associate my ego with my ideas. If they fail, my ego hurts. If my ideas are not respected, my ego gets hurt. Same happens if you reject my ideas or don’t value them. Ego them keeps me on my toes. It doesn’t let me relax till I make idea successful. If the idea is not good enough, it helps me keep thinking till I can think of a better idea. Ego can make you also innovative. Be proud of it. But remember to keep it in control.
