Rather than giving people an inflated view of themselves, we need to give them concrete reasons to feel good about themselves.
A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.
You need ego but mine is not blinding.
Narcissism in moderate amounts is not harmful to health.
Show me someone without an ego, and I'll show you a loser - having a healthy ego, or high opinion of yourself, is a real positive in life!
How much 'ego' do you need? Just enough so that you don't step in front of a bus.
What I hate is that not many people admit to having a big ego, but you have to - and there's nothing wrong with it.
A little narcissism is good. At least that's what I am telling myself.
It's good to have a healthy ego because that pushes you to succeed. But when you cross a line, and your views are not balanced, that's when you get into trouble.
The ego certainly is the biggest obstacle as an artist or performer, so any chance you get to destroy that is really healthy.
