1) Those who have subdued their ego understand that it doesn’t degrade you when others treat you poorly; it degrades them.
2) Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs.
3) The only real failure is abandoning your principles. Killing what you love because you can’t bear to part from it is selfish and stupid. If your reputation can’t absorb a few blows, it wasn’t worth anything in the first place.
4) The pretense of knowledge is our most dangerous vice, because it prevents us from getting any better.
5) You’re not as good as you think. You don’t have it all figured out. Stay focused. Do better.
6) People learn from their failures. Seldom do they learn anything from success.
7) Ego is the enemy of what you want and of what you have: Of mastering a craft. Of real creative insight. Of working well with others. Of building loyalty and support. Of longevity. Of repeating and retaining your success.
8) I was trapped so terribly inside my own head that I was a prisoner to my own thoughts.
9) There’s no one to perform for. There is just work to be done and lessons to be learned, in all that is around us.
10) As our island of knowledge grow so does the shore of our ignorance.
