All your ego does is hype you up for a massive failure.
- -Understand of how much of a goof you will look like if you tell everyone how good you are at something only to epicly fail. All it takes is a simple miscalculation for you to embarrass yourself into an endless amount of “Remember that one time when you…”.
- -It acts as a wall between your belief and your real self.
- –You look inexperienced, as if you don’t understand how cumbersome life can be sometimes.
- -The most humble people are often the most skilled, they understand how difficult it was to get to where they are at, and how much time it took. You simply do not.
Practice by risking failure.
- -Take small risks at first, build small confidence and work your way up from there.
- -See failure as a good thing, because it is. Failure can teach you what went wrong, how it went wrong, and what you’re going to do about it.
- -If you have the time, think of a plan for your risk. How will you go about it, and what will you do if you fail? Also understand what started the idea of this risk, did someone tell you to do it or is it your own?
Give credit even if you were largely the reason for success
- -When you are working with a team, you must give credit to everyone. It shows that you acknowledge even the smallest help from them, which can often times make a big difference.
- -Give credit and appreciation to people one on one, not everyone has to see it. This adds better connection between you and others because now they know that you don’t only thank people when you can look good.
Instead of saying “I” did it, say “we did it” as you will put more focus onto your team.
- If you are working in a group than understand that hearing the word “we” will make other more likely do the same thing everyone will feel welcome to the group.
- People don’t just like being in a group but feeling like they belong there. Talk to each other, compliment on each others achievements
- Take blame for things even if it wasn’t your fault. Once and a while there is at least something you could have done to change an outcome.
Your ego may be what holding you back. What happens next is your choice.
