A Buddhist teacher distinguishes between destructive ego, which stems from believing you're better than others, and constructive ego rooted in pride that can motivate leaders. Negative ego creates suffering when others don't respect you; positive ego can actually drive performance.

What is the Buddhist philosophy about ego?
As I mentioned that before, ego means, you know, oh, I'm better than other people. I'm higher than others. Oh, I'm from a better country, good country. Oh no, no, I'm from better family, rich family. This is ego.
It's when you are talking about you.
Yes, about me and same, you know. Everyone think, oh, I'm a boss, I'm a teacher, better than you. This is ego. If you think this, then there's problem. And someone don't respect you, you are very unhappy. Because your ego.
My question is if there is any possibility that ego is not only a trap, it's not only a suffering source, but it could be also a tool for something positive?
Actually here, you know, according to Buddhist philosophy, there are two different egos. I think some ego, you know, more like positive, proud. Okay, you know, proud. Yeah, okay, negative ego, you know, always negative.
So being proud is a positive side of it?
Yeah, this, yeah, yeah, because you know you rejoice yourself. Oh, you be happy with yourself. I'm a good leader. So this is positive.
