To keep my ego in check, I shall dissociate praise or critisim from who I am. I shall credit it to the ideas rather than take ownership of it personally. I included praise in there, too, because if I let it define me too much, my ego will inflate. And if my ego inflates, the only good it does is to be defensive and self absorbed.

During the beginning of 7th period today (my TA period), I decided to go to the lunch room to get a snack. I saw the janitor cleaning up and stacking chairs so I offered her my help.
