Egocentrism doesn't last forever.

The death of Enkidu was not to punish him, but to punish Gilgamesh. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh griefs and weeps, he starts admiding that the victory at the Cedar Forest wasn't just his. The fame that he so willingly wanted suddenly shades away and he realizes that taking all the credit for himself woudln't give him anything if he he lost his companion. "On the dangerous errand, in the ocnfusions of noises, he was the shield that went before in the batlle; he was the weapon at had to attack and defend." pg 44. gilgamesh recognices Enkidu's triumph and talks no more of himself. There are much more greater and important things in one's life than to brag, show off, and credit ourselves. Modesty is one of the most valuable characteristics a person can have. unfortunatly sometimes this lesson is learned by force. People have to crash agianst the wall to realice that they don't live in a world of one, but that there a many other around us that are as valuable as we are.

", blind, to the end of the seventh league, alone, without companion, seeing nothing at all, weeping and fearful, stuggling to keep breathing." pg. 52. I have a huge defect, I prefer do things by myself because I believe that I can make them better than if I do it with someone else, the fact is that I am wrong. I am no superhero, nor a perfect women, but an ordinary girl that as everybody else needs of the rest's help. Gilgamesh realizes that now, he is not a superheroe, nor "do-it-all", nor a "know-it-all".
Today, manu companies have decided that the most efficent way to accomplish thing in the best quality is by combining everybodies talents and making of them the final product, team work, it is the most important characteristic one should have in order to succeed in life, know how to appreciate everybody's way of thinking.
