To me, living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past, present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.- Bo Bennett
My ego is controlled enough that I do not have to be the focus.
To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.
I have no ego investment in being on the air. I do not knock others for whom that kind of attention is like oxygen, but I do not miss anything about it.
The great corrupter of public man is the ego. Looking at the mirror distracts one's attention from the problem.
