In the hotly contended 
journey to the to the top, one needs to learn to drop most of your ego and start from the bottom, never despising humble begininings, learn to be submissive to those ahead of us in the journey, ask questions and seek help at confusing points, it is never wrong to ask for help when the need arises as no one tree makes a forest and no man truly is an Island. At the end of it all it is the humble man that normally get the lifting from the creator.
