Having a huge ego is not a winning characteristic. Unfortunately, many people in power believe it’s a “mine is bigger” competition.

🦋 El orgullo, cuando se pone cabezón y no escucha, no es carácter: es una cárcel con vistas al estancamiento.
Hay gente que, aunque tengan el error dándoles en toda la cara, prefieren morir con las botas puestas defendiendo su postura antes que admitir una verdad que les vendría de lujo para crecer.

Rechazan cualquier corrección, y no es porque no entiendan las razones, es que su ego tiene la piel muy fina y no aguanta ni un gramo de humildad.
Al final, lo único que consiguen es que su mente se apague y que esa posible grandeza interior se quede en nada, silenciada por las ganas de tener razón a toda costa.

Nadie evoluciona ni un milímetro si va por la vida agarrado a la soberbia.
La madurez de verdad empieza el día que aprendes a ceder ante la verdad, no porque te rindas ante nadie, sino porque entiendes que tu orgullo te está frenando.
Soltar esa necesidad de ser infalible es lo que de verdad te hace libre.

A quotation from Montaigne

There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
 
[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]

You'll never go wrong if you bet on Donald's #ego to put his fingerprints and/or name on *everything*.

Now we'll all get to stoke HS vanity by rsrrying around money with his zigzag signature on it.

Treasury to put Trump's signature on paper currency in historic move

The Treasury Department plans to print President Donald Trump’s signature on every new U.S. paper bill. Treasury announced the idea Thursday. Treasury says it would mark the first time a sitting president’s signature appears on new currency. The announcement is part of a broader push to put Trump’s name and image on public symbols. Treasury also backs a separate effort for a Trump coin. Earlier this month, a federal arts commission approves a design for a gold commemorative coin with his face.
