  • Sometimes, we might feel disregarded, and our ego hurt if we are not rewarded for our work. Therefore, it gets hard to be genuinely humble and accept our situations.

  • During these times, see the big picture, and don’t let the inconsiderable ups and downs of your day affect your passion for your cause.

  • Don’t get attached to your stature and receive without ego. Remember that the rise and fall of our position are trivial and what matters is our behavior and how we handle the situation.
