The world does not revolve around you. This is especially true in the social media age where every attention seeking whore has the potential for "celebrity" status.

Arrogance is very foolish too. The moment you stop to look around and admire what you have done, that is when you lose your momentum and then everyone passes you.

Excellence in anything in life is a constant process of hard work, maintaining a ironclad positive outlook no matter what challenges show up and constantly trying to improve and reinvent yourself. The moment you stop and say, "look at me Mom, look what I did", you are screwed.

Overall a good podcast and I will be listening to future ones.
Eminem said it perfectly in his latest, "Rap God"

Full of myself/but still hungry

Perfect.
