High Self-Esteem and Strong Egos Might Annoy You; Think Twice on Judgment
Posted by admin at 09:38 | Filed In Build Self Esteem
Due to the social conditioning and the slide towards socialism in the United States many people believe that ego is a bad thing. Folks even go out of their way to hide it, but why? A strong ego from a friend, associate, family member, celebrity or business person might annoy us now and again, but one should hold back judgment until they know if that ego being projected is earned or false.
Indeed, I have a strong ego, more than most people I have met, but it is an earned ego from doing. It helps me win, innovate, achieve and that is a good thing. Nothing wrong with that. If one does not believe in themselves and their abilities then they will achieve very little. The negative ego issue is invalid often and we should think twice.
What really changed me to the ego thing was reading the Introduction to A New Type of Science by Stephen Wolfram. There was an I did this or I did that in every sentence, sometimes two. I thought, wow, what an ego turn-off, this must be hype, this guy is all ego and I just paid $68.00 for this book? Well, I was not going to waste my purchase so I kept reading.
Then eventually, I read the whole book he wrote. Took me a month, it is huge 1200 pages of small print, calculations and heavy reading, it took me another 2-months part-time to follow all the references that I had highlighted. Now then, although the man has a tremendous ego, his work is still Excellent. I call this an earned ego. Nothing wrong with that.
He deserves credit for his 10-year project. And no one is better qualified to write a book review on that book than the man who wrote it and created this New Type of Science. If someone wishes to label this gentleman ego-centric, fine. But you cannot discount his work and if it takes an ego like that to perform and produce such a work, then we need more people like that, not less.
I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
