What Everyone Should Know About their Ego and Success
The size of your ego will determine if you are ready to find success in your life. I know this might sound funny and I know what you are thinking but just keep on reading. And it’s probably not what you are expecting to read…
People who have big egos don’t like to make mistakes because this makes them look bad. And people might pass judgment or laugh at them and this will hurt their egos and obviously they look bad. So if you have a large ego, your chances of finding success aren't that great… Except if you know how to "turn" it down a little bit.
And here’s why…
When you are on your road to success, you will make mistakes and lots of them. You will look like a fool from time to time and yes, people will talk behind your back! This will without a doubt influence you if you have a big ego. And if you’re anything like me, this may take awhile to change.
I used to have a big ego! I didn't want to make any mistakes. To be honest, I would do everything to hide my miskates so I would "look good". But this would simply make the situation worse because I would sometimes look like an even bigger fool when people found out what I really did…
And guess what, because I did this, people talked even more behind my back!
I used to wonder why people found success in their lives and I couldn’t (you can learn more about me on my site www.cheerstothegoodlife.com). And one of the big factors that I discovered was the size of my ego. The story that you're about to read is not about finding success but how my ego interfered with my life. Sometimes I wish I had discovered how to find success back then because life would have been a lot better!
I remember when I was a freshman in college working on a construction site before classes and on the weekends. I was a labourer doing all sorts of jobs to help the "expert" do their jobs. On this particular day I was bringing cement to the guys working on the side walk. When the day was just about over I just happened to step in the cement that the guys finished earlier. But instead of telling them, I tried to fix it myself because I didn’t want to look like the “idiot labourer". (People who work in construction will understand…) Since I never finished cement before, I truly didn't know how to do it… So I did my best to try and fix it. Which wasn’t a good idea! When the foreman came to take a look at the work he clearly noticed the very bad-looking part of the side walk and started yelling at the guys. Obviously the guys didn’t know what he was talking about and all hell broke loose! That's about the time I had to confess. And yes you guessed it: I didn’t work with that crew anymore. The guys hated me for a good reason and the foreman couldn’t trust me to work on any other project for the fear of me covering up something potentially worse!
You see if I would have accepted the fact I made a mistake and told someone from the start, I would have avoided a whole mess. Yes I would still have look like an “idiot” but I would have probably learned something. Maybe I would have gained some respect from the guys by admitting my mistake or Maybe one of the guys would've teached me how to finish cement since it was only a small part. I'll never be able to know. But what I do know is that it would have been better than being fired and having these guys use me as the “don’t do that” example for everyone else that would work for them…
By toning down your ego, you’ll be able to make a mistake and learn from it, which is the way to go. And you’ll be far better off then someone who doesn’t want to make any mistake or worse, someone who doesn’t want to learn from it.
But if you can’t tone down your ego, then you’re on a very long path to try and find success in your life!
Before I end this article I just want to mention that there is a difference between confidence and ego. A big difference! Like I said, your ego will decide how you're going to resond to a situation but confidence will help you achieve anything you want in life by following the 6 secrets to success.
More on this in a later article…
