Egonomics

Ego dies when
    pain is accepted like pleasure
    failure is welcomed like success
    rejection is received like reception
    losing is acknowledged like gaining
When there is no more
    appeasing of the mind, it is lost
    arguments with ego, it is silent
    fighting with self,  you are your Self!
=========================================Quote
When you realize yourself as less than a point in space and time, something too small to be cut and too short-lived to be killed, then and then only, all fear goes. When you are smaller than the point of the needle, then the needle cannot pierce you – you pierce the needle! – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
=========================================Humor
An absentminded professor and two of his colleagues were driving down the highway at a very slow speed. A policeman pulled them over and explained that driving so slowly on the highway could be hazardous. The driver pointed out the sign that read "20." He explained that he was going 20 mph because of the sign. The policeman pointed out that the sign indicated they were driving on Highway 20.

Somewhat embarrassed the professor apologized and promised to be more observant.

As the policeman turn to walk back to his car, he noticed the other two professors in the back looking scared to death! He asked the driver, "What's wrong with them?"

The driver replied, "We just turned off Highway 105."
