The biggest hurdle in building a positive
relationship is Ego. Ego is self-intoxicating. Ego is negative pride resulting
in arrogance. Healthy pride is a feeling of the pleasure of accomplishment with
humility. Ego gives a swollen head while pride gives a swollen heart. A big
head gives a big headache whereas a big heart gives humility.
No matter what
the size of a person's accomplishments are, there is never an excuse for having
a big head. Pride, yes; big head, no.
Ego--The "I Know It All" Attitude
To an egocentric person, the world begins, ends and revolves around him. An
egotist can be funny by default. A boss asked one of his employees how badly he
wanted a raise. The employee said, "Real badly. I have been praying to God
for one." The boss replied, "You are not going to get it because you
went over my head." An egotist talks and looks down on others. Egotism is
the anesthetic that deadens the pain of stupidity.
