The great corrupter of public man is the ego. Looking at the mirror distracts one's attention from the problem.
Some time when you're feeling important
Some time when your ego's in bloom
Some time when you feel you are
The best qualified man in the room,
Some time when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,

And see how it humbles the soul.

Place your hands in it up to your wrists
Take them out and the hole that remains
Is a measure of how you'll be missed.

You may stir up the water galore
But take them out and in just a moment
It will look just the same as before.
The moral of this is quite simple
Just do the best that you can.
