Would you rather be a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in a big pond? I used to think I wanted to be a little fish, but after experiencing the micro-management in both ponds, I think I'd rather be a little fish in a big pond. At least then the micro-management would be spread out to a larger population, thereby giving the impression there is less to deal with. However, with enough hard work and perseverance I could eventually become a big fish in a big or little pond, which brings me full circle because I don't know which pond I'd rather be in...I would just be a bigger fish. Any suggestions?
