There are speakers who use humor to deliberately get rid of their ego.

Criticizing oneself, badmouthing oneself, is something that, if done by the right person, can be very good.

1. The desire for victory;
2. The desire to resort to cunning techniques;
3. The desire to display all that has been learned;
4. The desire to terrify the enemy;
5. The desire to be passive;
6. The desire to get rid of any evil that can affect you.

It can be hard to get rid of things you spent a lot of money on. 

But keeping things you no longer wear, use or love also has a cost—every object carries a burden as well as a benefit. The burden or “clutter cost” is the money, time, energy, and space an object demands of you.
