10 QUOTES ABOUT EGO FROM EGO IS THE ENEMY BY RYAN HOLIDAY
1. Impressing people is utterly different from being truly impressive.
2. Those who have subdued their ego understand that it doesn’t degrade you when others treat you poorly; it degrades them.
3. 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.
4. When we remove ego, we’re left with what is real. What replaces ego is humility, yes—but rock-hard humility and confidence. Whereas ego is artificial, this type of confidence can hold weight. Ego is stolen. Confidence is earned. Ego is self-anointed, its swagger is artifice. One is girding yourself, the other gaslighting. It’s the difference between potent and poisonous.
5. The pretense of knowledge is our most dangerous vice, because it prevents us from getting any better.
6. You’re not as good as you think. You don’t have it all figured out. Stay focused. Do better.
7. People learn from their failures. Seldom do they learn anything from success.
8. Attempting to destroy something out of hate or ego often ensures that it will be preserved and disseminated forever.
9. Pride blunts the very instrument we need to own in order to succeed: our mind. Our ability to learn, to adapt, to be flexible, to build relationships, all of this is dulled by pride.
10. Always ask yourself “Do I need this? Or is it really about ego?”
