excellent article and appreciate the author sharing his perspective which is very valuable.

For me the main lesson is, don't let your ego develop from success. Any human is vulnerable to narcissism. It is an interesting phenomenon, where you can originate as a humble person who becomes successful, only to lose your great qualities, when your identity changes. With success you attract different people in your life who may be attracted only to your success and who don't have the stones to confront you on your bs.

Developing healthy self awareness comes from surrounding yourself with people that love you, but are not afraid to keep you honest if you do something out of character.
