I'd Rather Be a Small Fish in a Big Pond

A friend on Facebook recently posted an interesting question : Would you rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond? My answer was "I'd rather be a small fish in a big pond because a big fish in a small pond cannot grow". This little interaction inspired the above piece and also got me thinking about how important it is to put myself in a situation where I can continue to grow and how important it is to "move out of the small pond" when it starts to become too small for me to grow.
