I really don't want to be a fish. Not that there is anything wrong with being a fish. I know a fish.
Funny!
I’d love to be a fish...
I don't want to be a fish.
Fish are cool.
@NothinnXpreVails -- Yes, they are, but I don't want to be a fish.
@evidentialist ok.......
I want to be the pond that contains small, big fishes and everything else. ; )
Pretty sure there's only one pond...and we're all in it...until we get caught.
Just a regular old fish in a regular old pond.
I've been both and they both have their pros and cons. I'm currently the small fish and I'm much happier.

Big fish in a small pond. But not in a pond too small. If your aim is to reach your highest potential, I think it helps to be somewhere you are above average. You stand out more, get encouraged more, and more opportunities are sent your way. If you get to a big pond you won't be noticed at all. And if opportunities and encouragement are not sent your way, you won't reach the height you're capable of.
The big pond may be more fun and have more interesting company though, so once you have reached a certain size, then shift over to the big pond.
This is where I live, even big fish are not safe, tuna and mackerel are being eaten at amazing rates as they feed on smaller fish. Small ponds are prone to drying up.
