Does an ego help or hinder?
If its the correct size it must help, tell you what you can do, what you can do. But then again does are ego hold us back if were not confident enough? Or make us idiots if its too inflated.
Ronaldo has one of the biggest egos on the football pitch...but then again, he is the best, voted for by the experts. So is he good because he has the confidence, the ego, to go out on the pitch and bash the ball? Or does skill allow an ego to develop? Could he do the things he does if he was a little more down to earth?
Exams mean Ego burst to the forefront, some thing they sill obviously do well, so that they will fail everything. I'm sure a balance opinion is must usefull, here an everywhere else. But who knows, i think this was just an excuse to search for things on the internet rather than revise.

Blogging is procrastination favourite numero uno (after Facebook, maybe...). But highly annoying when you spend half an hour writing an amusing and uplifting blog and then it just goes and deletes the whole darn thing! I didn't bother to rewrite.
Ego= unescapable, and therefore neither 'good' nor 'bad' as a concept as a whole. Individually... well that really varies person to person, situation to situation.
Ultimately, if we weren't confident in our ability to get up in the morning, then nobody would! So we need a little confidence! In something.
That being said, sometimes I just don't get up, but it's called laziness!! x
You need confidence to get up?? I get up everyday...sometimes it's more difficult than others...but having confidence in my ability (of what?) is not the reason for getting up!! At times I have confidence in nothing but life must go on...
It wasnt 100% literal...
Hmmmmm...well I don't understand teh metaphor then!
'At times I have confidence in nothing but life must go on...'
Lol, very melodramatic.
Ego is a good thing, it's when you add '-centric' and '-tistical' that it becomes a bad thing. Everyone should have confidence in what they do
Lol...wasn't trying to be melodramatic!! Was just saying that I don't always have confidence but I still manage to get up everyday!! I have very little confidence in anything I do which I'm sure you are well aware!
