What you describe as ego in the above is in a part willpower. You have a strong will, and when you will something you will do anything to get it. you will not stop because any of your own weaknesses(inertia, laziness, greed, fear, anger) hold you back.
Wanting to win is not what is commonly associated with the ego.
What most people describe as ego can be compared to the Freudian id, you can easily google that, i suggest you research that, the Freudian trinity.
There are many things called ego. Its confusing...
Killing the ego is not wise, it is necessary for a well rounded personality. but you should not be a slave to it.
In the end it does not matter what you call it, and how you rationalize your own Psyche. It is all bullshit.
no amount of reasoning or thinking will subdue your ego or kill it. no matter how far you comprehend your own mind... Only by living and not being a slave of your own impulses can you be freed. You live your life on second at a time, its all about choices and going against the choices that are easiest but worst in the long run.
Be free, invent yourself and strengthen your willpower.
