How MSN Helped Reduce My EGO!

Do you know how big your ego is? 

Ego is usually defined as a person's self-esteem and self-importance while in other occasions it is defined as a conscious and unconscious state of thinking of a person. 

We all have egos. Usually we never fully realize how big our ego can be until we have reached that extreme mile or if unlucky even fail to completely to recognize it. There many definitions of egos and occur in different aspects of life, each happening in its own extremes. 

               

Personally I never really understood what ego meant or I had it- until I started following the professional MSN trident of (Messi, Suarez and Neymar) of football call it soccer, from Barcelona FC in Spain. Following MSN moved from fun to learning especially in regards to working a professional environment. 

These where three cool guys well known to be the best in their position on the pitch as well as the world's top strikers. The position of strikers on the pitch is usually associated with selfishness and ego as each is competing for the most goals and glory of the team, thus expected to fight in taking on each strike into the goal net being at the front. As such, having Messi and Neymar was already having people agitated of how far they could work well together after one season of winning nothing in 2013-2014, and then the addition of Suarez in the 2014-2015 season even made matters worse of how effective the front three would get on together, especially given the previous biting history regarding Suarez. However, as the external public and various media networks drew their worrying opinions, Barcelona was internally confidently building the partnership between its front three. As such to the surprise of the world, a combined and  hardworking partnership of the front three trident had been born in Barcelona FC and the success could be evidently seen in season of 2014-2015 winning everything except for one trophy combined with the various individual awards shared between the three, yet this spattering success was just only the beginning as seen in the subsequent seasons over two years later, and as such, now the world of football/soccer recognizing them as probably the best front three trident in the history of football/soccer.

When the successful partnership of the trident was questioned, each individual MSN was very humble in their answer and the most common theme was "we all take ourselves equal with no one above the other in the Barça room and as such we have no Ego whatsoever. Despite, each knowing how good the other is especially with the competing striker/forward role we have, we have learnt to have no Ego among our ourselves to work best for our profession, club and fans."

Like I previously said, we usually experience egos in different aspects but egos majorly come at our workplaces where we have to compete with professional peers especially while at the same job position or management to show especially bosses that each individual is working or achieving better than the other that we even fail to recognize the contributions of each of us in our work environment as we compete. So the more I read about the headlines of MSN and their no egos, the more amazing it became clear to me to question- where I am I exhibiting my egos most,/why I am I having such huge ego with my colleagues and family, friends? Have my egos stifled others from development?  It was so eye opening especially- of how amazing, how it would be if only we had such successful no ego relationships and instead focused on working together towards the success of everyone and win everything in the end. And in that moment I felt I should wash away my egos especially where they are just for personal benefit, recognition or to pull down other persons. As such- I now try to be always conscious of my circumstances and decisions to keep in check when my ego may popup.

MSN no ego zone of professionalism has been an amazing lesson to not just me but the world of professionalism that some may not clearly put in context, well as I am also trying to put in context, but I know people can feel it worldwide especially for those who follow MSN that even feel they cannot get enough!

However, nevertheless, we still need a little bit doze of ego to drive our passions forward as we also engage and compete with others but in an embracing and welcoming environment that allows others also to develop, otherwise we would be bored, as such perhaps then- give the word ego another meaning in this case...

Luiz Suárez Tops FC Barcelona’s Scoring Charts This Season

Luiz Suárez's clinical finish is what Barcelona really needed after their epic 3-1 win over Eibar after coming from behind at Camp Nou on Sunday .
