THE LEARNING HUB: Four Signs That Show Your Ego Is Too Big

1.You have difficulty taking criticism: If you are unable to accept criticism or feedback from others without becoming defensive or angry, it could be a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego allows you to accept constructive feedback and use it to grow and improve.

2.You constantly seek attention or validation: If you find yourself constantly seeking attention or validation from others, it could be a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego is self-assured and doesn't require constant external validation.

3.You belittle or talk down to others: If you feel the need to belittle or talk down to others to feel better about yourself, it's a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego allows you to recognize and appreciate the strengths of others without feeling threatened by them.

4.You have a sense of entitlement: If you feel entitled to special treatment or privileges without earning them, it's a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego allows you to recognize that you are no better or worse than anyone else and that everyone deserves respect and equal treatment.

It's important to note that having a healthy level of self-confidence is important, but it's essential to recognize the difference between confidence and arrogance. A big ego can negatively impact relationships, hinder personal growth, and lead to unhappiness in the long run.

THE LEARNING HUB: 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money.

THE LEARNING HUB: When you wake up in the morning...

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural. ~Marcus Aurelius Book: Meditations https://amzn.to/3qjadxq (Art: Painting by Maximilien Luce)

By Bill Gates | June 25, 2024 The problems caused by climate change are often in the headlines. It’s less often that we hear about the progress being made in the fight against it.

At this year’s Breakthrough Energy Summit in London, over 100 of them have gathered to share the solutions they’ve been working on that are ready to get to work and tackle climate change today. They include: Window glass so energy efficient that it performs like a see-throug...
