May: Learning How to Learn
The Day was created in 2018 to help people that suffer from an advanced case of egoism learn to deal with people around them with better humility, and to remind everyone of the dangers of having an inflated ego. World Ego Awareness Day is an important day as it helps people self-reflect on how big their ego truly is and at the same time evaluate their experiences with people around them to determine just how much of their perceived ego comes in conflict with another person’s ego.
The word of the day: humility (noun) /hjuːˈmɪl.ɪ.ti/
Meaning: ability to understand your ego (your sense of “I am the best”) and not let it control your behavior
Example: Even if she was very smart, she showed humility and listened carefully to other people’s ideas.
