Ego is defined as: a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance. What is upsetting is there are some who think that it is to be sold to others. Nobody cares about what you think of yourself unless they make money off of you or are your family. Why is it that we encounter others who want validation from those who have nothing to do with the process of what they are trying to achieve. If you’re on a football team a quarterback is not going to throw the ball to himself. A quarterback is reliant on those he has on his team. He is reliant on those he trusts to do their job in order to accomplish a certain goal. More yardage, block the defense, or score the touchdown. He does not rely on the fans. Same goes with the military. You rely on those with specific sets of skills in order as a whole to move forward. It is very apparent that a person is willing to help others in a time of need. Far more than not do we tell people to help themselves. Don’t think that just because you’re helping others, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help yourself. If you never help yourself then inevitably you become the one begging others for help. This is not to say that walking over people will get you very far. Only so far you can go till someone starts to talk about how they were treated. Your ego will get you as far as the people you walk over to get to the next step. If you don’t have good people skills, or are not interested in getting to know others, then your potential for greatness is like a small window cracked open when it could be French doors open on a sunny day.
