What's the PRO of a BIG EGO?

whats the bright side

You can dress like this guy:

Ego +.Execution = winning always

The benefits of an ego, weak people will leave your life. Those who dream but never do, will slowly drift away while bashing your good name.

Strong people enter and encourage it.

Then there will be people who will gravitate towards you hoping to touch the hem of your garment.

Depends on how it's grown. Just acting like you're all high and mighty. VS Reaching that point by nurturing it with concrete facts and real accomplishments.

@Awesomeyooo has the former, I have the later. In the former case you can potentially gain a lot of the benefits of the later, but you have the chance that your EGO can be taken away. Once your arrogance leads you to try to do or take more than you can handle, it backfires completely. The consequences are proportional to the size of the falsely inflated ego.

In the case of the Later, you get all the benefits and they cannot possibly ever go away no matter what happens to you. The benefits are: Ambition, Drive, Determination, Motivation, Assertiveness, being invulnerable to Negativity, being Content/Happy with your existence, being Infinitely more attractive to other people, being influential to other people, etc.

Agreed. You have to do the actual work and have receipts.

People will catch on to ego full of hot air and nothing to show for it.

You don't loose your confidence - while doing the wrong thing, entirely (cause nothing you do is wrong - "as far as you're concern"). As the saying goes: damn, it feels good to be a gangster (: or a complete jackass - like the show / the protagonists of that shows did have a really big ego - which they feed - while doing all kinds of dumb shit).

lol i actually looked this up. ;p

Bad ego and good ego.

A bad or small ego is the voice in head that:

a. Jeopardizes your relationships because you start thinking you are superior or inferior to others or become defensive.

b. Complains and hold resentment how it has been a victim of other people or situations. For example: “He hurt me, I will never be able to trust men again.” or “He belittled me. May be I don’t deserve it”

A good or big ego is that drives you to do something constructive and creative:

a. Which says “I don’t know but I will not stop until I find an answer”.

b. “He/she has more than me, this is giving me motivation to work hard and acquire more” or “If she/he can do it, I can do it”.

c. “How dare he insult me? I will show him who I am”



Real life example: Lamborghini was an Italian tractor manufacturer who once was insulted by Ferrari who didn’t exactly appreciate being given technical notes from a young tractor manufacturer. When Enzo Ferrari told him as such, a rivalry was born and Lamborghini’s hobby of driving fast cars turned into a passion for vindication. That insult or bruised ego drove Lamborghini to start his own sports car company, Lamborghini[1]. Good thing. Maybe. As that rivalry gave the world a fine car company.

Another example: Its been speculated that Donald trump after being roasted by Obama during correspondence dinner, decided to run for president. His big ego drove him to fight a hard campaign to become president of United States. Benefit for him. Maybe.

So it’s ego, bad or good, big or small. Which means its subjected to law of polarities. Which says good already has a concealed bad within.





u gotta take the good with the bad 😛

Yes , i mean the same thing as you. But i would put it this way.

They don't loose their sense of their right to their own preservation. But when at the end of doing wrong at the end of the day. It's a rat like sense. It's usually bolstered by group ego. It's why its easier for groups or a mob to do wrong.

Some people have a big ego ...but don't do too much wrong. They have a limit.

Also people with small egos can be swayed or brainwashed into following the crowd and doing wrong.

Both extremes are unhealthy (be it having a really big ego or really small - either being to full of yourself or loosing touch with your identity and thus others would define who you are). Even dangerous, both for yourself and others.

so i am learning a bit.. to understand in depth lol

weak ego means giving too many fucks?

and large ego means dont give a fuck?

I would say being a mother ....for example presents a challenge ...or a father ...lot of people seem to only be able to do it while losing themselves....perhaps you have to for a while. click to expand

Not really. It's not like you loose yourself while becoming a parent. If anything, that's a time - when you have to be/give more yourself. A child involves a change of life style (quite necessary - if you're to raise a child the right/healthy way - both on a physical level and mental/emotional) - and indeed that can be quite challenging (especially if it's your first child). But same goes for every big step - which demands more maturity out of you - more responsibility. It's a bigger change for the mother of course. Since she may be compelled to put her career on hold (temporarily), but that's not a lose of self. Unless the one in question was/is really selfish (thus, not fitting to be a parent to begin with). Usually, the unfortunate loss of her child... it's that type of broken heart - that can lead to a loss of self... :\
