Whenever your head gets too hot, you need to cool down. Ask yourself: after what you have achieved, so what? Whenever you win awards, score the highest in a test, or accomplished any other personal goals, and then feel great about yourself, ask yourself: Have I made a contribution to knowledge? Have I made a contribution to others? Thinking in this way will keep you away from narcissism, and prevent the thinking on what you get.
The fundamental question "so what" relates to how you judge yourself. I don't have a clear answer now. But think in terms of "Why you do the things you do" is a good way to search your values within and will make sure for what reason I do it. Besides, being able to answering "so what" every now and then will clear out your vanity.
