Let us know the difference between those who feed our ego and those who feed our soul. Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get us a long way.

We are caught up in our own lives, our own needs, and our own ego gratification. Our ego can become an obstacle to our life. If we start believing in our greatness, it is the death of our creativity.
