Difference between Ego and Self-Respect

If we consider our life as a line then Ego and Self-Respect are the end points of that line. One end point take us back in our life and another one constantly take us forward. We often confuse between what is ego and what is self-respect, it seems similar but it is not.

When you are carring only about your self not about others’ it’s ego. When you know your abilities, strengths, and uniqueness and your value at same time you respect others, listen to them and belive them it’s self-respect. When one have ego , He will see the whole world putting him self in the centre. Person becomes self centered. 

Knowledge and ego are directly related. the less knowledge, the greater the ego.
– Albert Einstein

When you become egoistic you overates your abilities and thinks like you know everything and you become rude with other people which are lower than you, You won’t even listen what they are saying. Ego has a tendency to break. Once you have self-respect it’s never gonna break.                                                                                                                 

Your self-respect has to be stronger than your feelings.

Once you have a Self-Respect you feel something positive about your self and you become more confident. You have a good quality of life with successful relationships. When you have a self-respect you know that No one is perfect and you respect them.                                                                                          

Now , We are coming to another side of ego. There is a positive side of an ego unless it controls your mind. We have a great example of bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, He belived that he is a king when he was not so successful, that was his ego but he proved that and achieved huge success in his life. He is also know as “King Khan” . There is another great example of Steve Jobs.
