@blackonbuzz: Being a big fish in a small pond can feel a lot like greatness, until you encounter a bigger pond. PLO Lumumba describes this as the danger of becoming a “village champion”: measuring ourselves only against what is familiar and mistaking local recognition for excellence. Education, he argues, should break us out of that comfort. It should broaden our thinking, challenge our assumptions and expose us to standards beyond our immediate surroundings. The goal isn't simply to be the best where you come from. It's to become good enough to stand anywhere.
