> I'm sure without a big ego you won't succeed as a big businessman

I agree. Unconfident people will never take the personal risks needed to get big.

Having confidence isn't necessarily a good thing of course.

Neither is 'getting big'.

A lot of politics and industry is made up by vacuous people selling hot air these days. Too much confidence, too little respect and knowledge.

People even more confident than the egoists can have the very same feeling.
