I take the work seriously, just not myself in it.

Summary

This quote implies that while the person is committed to their work and takes it seriously, they do not let their ego or self-importance hinder their performance. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a humble and grounded attitude, acknowledging that the work itself is more significant than any individual's ego or personal agenda. By detaching themselves from their self-image, they can effectively focus on the task at hand and ensure that they are serving the work rather than seeking personal validation or recognition.
