- Your worst enemy lives inside of you.
- Ego tells you what you want to hear when you want to hear it.
- You can think big without living and acting big.
- The attitude of being a student stops the ego.
- False ideas about yourself will destroy you. You must keep learning.
- The attitude of being an eternal student will keep you humble.
- Ego is the enemy because it lies and disconnects you from reality.
- Ego screams for you to indulge it. Do not let it distract you.
- Ego causes you to be a victim of yourself.
- Ego causes you to stop growing and learning.
- You cannot keep learning if you think you know everything. Ego wrecks you.
- Knowledge puffs up.
- You must manage yourself to maintain your success.
- Your ego might not cause you to fail, but it will prevent you from moving forward.
- Don’t let stubbornness make a bad situation even worse.
- The bigger the ego, the harder the fall.
- Ego usually causes the crash and stops you from improving.
