Ego is the enemy of self-pride.
Just like greed is the enemy of ambition.
Ego doesn’t build self-respect. It merely masks low self-esteem.
By the same token, greed does not create wealth. It destroys it.

But I will say this: The most confident, ambitious and wealthy people I know are neither vain nor greedy.
They are pragmatic and driven by unparalelled self-determination.
