Leave your ego at the door every morning, and just do some truly great work. Few things will make you feel better than a job brilliantly done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am telling you, if you ever wanted an ego boost, leave your job and then, six months later, come back for a day. People will treat you like you're a princess.
Take your work seriously, but never yourself.
Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
I've done my best to work from a place of humility - always looking over your shoulder saying, 'Does this suck?' and I think that's a good way to work. The other way to work is where you start to think, 'I'm on fire, I'm amazing!' and I don't think that's the way to work.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
I try not to have too much of an ego. I'll do anything.
Take your work seriously and yourself lightly.
Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.
I have a gigantic ego and need to be at the top of the pile and be doing amazingly well; also, at the same time, I'm just pleased to be anywhere.
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
