Our mission in life should be to make a positive difference, not to prove that we are smart, and not to prove that we are right. Ego takes over when we become more focused on showing how smart or right we are, instead of focusing on creating real, positive change.

It’s important to market yourself and build credibility. And I think credibility must be earned in two ways:
1. You have to do great work.
2. You have to be seen doing great work.
These are two very different things, and both matter.
