I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

I really feel like my goal, and I don't always achieve it, is to do the best work I can do, and stay out of the results. Because ultimately, the result is not what the work is about. There are other people whose jobs are to focus on those results and maximize them, and that's great. Let them do their job.

The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It's not so easily tamed or subdued.
