Confessions of an egoist

These are perhaps the most tough words to be scribbled here. But what the heck, someday I need to realize it. Back yesterday when I was with a friend, the word EGO popped into our discussion. No big deal eh? But what followed was a train of thoughts back to where it had all started. During my childhood years I remember having this sealing around me when someone pointed out my faults. Of course I'd listen to 'em and try and improve but in crucial things like majority is going for Math tuitions- who cares I have a scientist Dad who shall help me and I don't need no tuitions. That was good confidence and it helped me make my own way ahead. However, when I saw peers performing better at a subject that was my baby I sulked and categorized them as losers. I did lose some friends and gained some. That was a part of the game. But what I lost in midst of all this was my ability to be open to learn by accepting my faults. At the same time my ambition got converted to ego booster. And I never saw the thin line between ego and ambition. So, I now have an onus onto myself to regain that lost ambition by sheer hardwork and give it another shot.
