If you can put aside your ego you can be so much more content. Also once you put aside your ego it is easier to succeed because you are more willing to embrace new ideas.

Similar like humility; there is no such award in humility, as if there is one willing to receive it, it's not humble anymore. Open minded is also difficult, open minded can't condemn those close-minded, open-minded learned from close-minded instead. I also think that humility is a very important in managing ego, egonomics share it as 3 characteristics of humility: "we, then me", "duality" (I am good and I am not), and "one more thing" (constructive discontent). Hope it's useful! Robert Hi Nicole, a great quote, thanks for sharing it! Similar like humility; there is no such award in humility, as if there is one willing to receive it, it’s not humble anymore.

This is the most appropriate quote that I could find to describe a formidable problem with handling our egos.  Need I say more?
