Ego... Quality or Quantity !!

Today, I am a bit confused. !! I have a reason for it also. Somebody said that please do not let your Ego rise to destroy the relationship or make it come between any arrangements or family, and I was shocked!! For the first time, I was hearing this in my till dates life. This word I never came across. Neither had I tried it for others. This made me think, what exactly I did so that anybody can call or narrate me with such words. And after so many things, analysis and research and searches on Net I finally arrived on the meaning of this word for me. See if you also can relate to it...

Saying ego is bad is as outrageous as stating water is bad because it can drown you or fire is bad because it can burn you. Ego, water and fire are all life sustaining, and they only bite if they are misused.

Anyways some points that I have collected to clear the idea which says if you have these in you, means you have an Ego... (Just don’t take it on a negative side, most of the time this what your quality is, and that is why expert says ego is good. Just in what quantity and where you apply, is matter)

1.      You find yourself in a feisty discussion and you just can’t back down until you have ‘won’ the argument

2.      You constantly compare yourself to other people who you feel are better than you (better looking, more intelligent, happier, and wealthier)

3.      You constantly compare yourself to people who you feel are not as good as you (less intelligent, lower status)

4.      You feel jealous when other people do well

5.      You talk about yourself for 10 minutes before asking another how they are

6.      You’d rather win than do your best

7.      You often sulk when you don’t win that sports game or work challenge (instead of being proud of your attempt to do your best)

8.      You set yourself impossible goals and then beat yourself up when you don’t reach them

9.      You blame others when things don’t go your way

Now tell me how many of you who read the above points feel that you seem to deal with such... If yes then also it is not a problem, you can just do one thing, if you feel somebody is doing so, just comment that How much Ego that fellow has... and If you don’t feel to say so, just look at mirror once, settle your hair, brush it with fingers or comb, give a smile to self feel proud and get back to work.

Saying that the other person has Ego, is very easy, but what is ego and according to you how you state it, becomes difficult to explain. So Next time when you feel to say so just get back to this note and give a smile to self.

See buddy, Ego is something that everyone must have. It is nowadays a must have quality. If you feel that you do not have it and if you are saying so by pointing other then surely you have it. So, just think about which you can work better?!! Embrace your ego to find the real you and the core of your own unique personality.

Think and Act...
