THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EGO AND PRIDE

The biggest hurdle in building a positive relationship is Ego. Ego is self-intoxicating. Ego is negative pride resulting in arrogance. Healthy pride is a feeling of the pleasure of accomplishment with humility. Ego gives a swollen head while pride gives a swollen heart. A big head gives a big headache whereas a big heart gives humility.

No matter what the size of a person’s accomplishments is, there is never an excuse for having a big head.

Pride = yes; big head = no.  

“Feeling proud is healthy. It makes you happy and confident and fills you with hope.”

Albert Einstein:

  Ego = 1/knowledge 

“More the knowledge

Lesser the Ego,

Lesser the knowledge

More the Ego...”

-        Albert Einstein

“Ego is just like dust in the eye, without clearing dust you can’t see anything clearly, so clear Ego and see the World.”

                                                       -A.P.J.Abdul Kalam

“When the ego dies, the soul awakes.”
