De alcanzar repetidas veces el exito y mantenerlo. El ego rechaza las ventajas y las oportunidades. Es un iman para los problemas y los conflictos. Es un iman para los enemigos y para los errores. Lo situa a uno entre la espada y la pared.

Many of our problems come from having too much: rapid technological disruption, junk food, traditions that tell us the way we're supposed to live our lives. We're soft, entitled, and scared of conflict. Great times are great softeners.

el ego es una creencia malsana en nuestra propia importancia. Esa es la definicion que usaremos en este libro. Es ese chiquillo irritable que hay dentro de cada uno, aquel que elige hacer lo que quiere por encima de cualquier otra cosa. La necesidad de ser mejor que, mas que, reconocido por, mas alla de cualquier utilidad razonable. Ese es el ego.

En este sentido, el ego es el enemigo de lo que deseamos y de lo que tenemos. El enemigo de la posibilidad de llegar a dominar un oficio. De la verdadera intuicion creativa. De la posibilidad de trabajar bien con los demas. De construir lealtad y apoyo. De la longevidad.

desapego es una especie de antidoto natural contra el ego. Es facil sentirse emocionalmente comprometido y enamorado del trabajo propio. Todos los narcisistas pueden hacerlo. Lo raro no es el talento ni la capacidad, y ni siquiera la seguridad en uno mismo, sino la humildad, la laboriosidad y la conciencia de si mismo.

As Sean Ellis, one of the first growth hackers--he coined the term with Patrick Vlaskovits--puts it: "Focusing on customer acquisition over 'awareness' takes discipline. . . . At a certain scale, awareness/brand building makes sense. But for the first year or two it's a total waste of money." --

At twenty-one, Richard Wright was not the world-famous author he would eventually be. But poor and black, he decided he would read and no one could stop him. Did he storm the library and make a scene? No, not in the Jim Crow South he didn't. Instead, he forged a note that said, "Dear Madam: Will you please let this nigger boy have some books by HL Mencken?" (because no one would write that about themselves, right?), and checked them out wit..

But that's the nice thing about lawyers: as long as you're paying them, they're usually good with whatever terms go along with it. Compartmentalization is their job. It's how they represent people who are guilty, how they file long motions they know are unlikely to be successful, how they can patiently keep secrets that they'd otherwise love to be able to share. Harder was nearly twenty years into his legal career when he was first approach..

For if a person shifts their caution to their own reasoned choices and the acts of those choices, they will at the same time gain the will to avoid, but if they shift their caution away from their own reasoned choices to things not under their control, seeking to avoid what is controlled by others, they will then be agitated, fearful, and unstable." --EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 2.1.12"
