"If it's about your ego, your team won't succeed"
Simplified meaning
When you focus too much on yourself, your team won't do well. Imagine a soccer game where one player just wants to show off and prove they are the best, ignoring their teammates. They hog the ball and try to score all the goals by themselves. As a result, the team loses because they aren't working together. To truly succeed, everyone needs to share the ball and support each other. This idea works in other areas too, like at work or in a school project. Instead of trying to be a hero, it’s better to think about how you can help the whole group do better. This way, everyone wins.
