“Lose the ego. Do great work and take pride in it, but don’t be arrogant about how great you think you are.”

“Lose the ego. Do great work and take pride in it, but don’t be arrogant about how great you think you are.”
I think the great work can be done only without ego, because creation with ego – it’s unreal… ) Only without ego we can connect to high reality to bring creation in our world and help people to see the beauty… ) (Sorry for my English). )
“Augment the ego. Do great work and take pride in it, but be sure to be arrogant about how great you think you are because it will protect and advertise your work.”
Entire careers were made from taking credit from other people’s work. If you “lose the ego” you will become silent or too discreet, then you will be an easy prey for the egocentric opportunists who thrive in other peoples work. And there’s lots of them…
Anyway, people who say things like “lose the ego” are the most egocentric ones, and there’s no such thing as doing great work, taking pride in it without ego except false modesty.
