Maybe it's not the size, but the strength of the ego that counts. In other words, big ego can be good. Big big ego can be very good, but only as long as they are strong enough not to inflated/deflated by things like how other's see you.
1) Better a big strong ego than a small weak ego
2) Better a small, weak ego than a big weak ego
3) And definitely better a big strong ego, than a big weak ego.
confindence (big strong) >= humility (small strong)> low self esteem (small weak)> arrogance (big weak)?
This, of course, is an oversimplification, and probably a hijacking on the original use of "ego", so i invite you to choose better words or re-rank them, or whatever
