Say hi to your wife for me 😌👋, I'm sure she came back with a lot of love.
Well I don't think I fancy being a small fish in a big pond because it'll take a lot of time to navigate around the pond.
Then also I don't fancy being a big fish in a small pond because then I'll get bored since the pond can't contain me.
I'll settle for being a perfectly sized fish in a big pond, it'll be a lot of fun
let me sight an example of been a big fish in a small pond.
when my cousin brother was in this small high school, he was the best in his class everyone looked up to him, always having the best score in all of his subjects no one is really competing with him because other kids in his school were not really working hard enough. He always feels on top hence no need for growth. He was a big fish in a small pond.
Then it happens he was moved by his parents to a more bigger school with more competing and very hard working class mates suddenly he realize that his no long a big fish, he had to work harder learn from his other class mates in other to meet ups, he was challenged to learn more and grow.
So back to your question: Is better for me to be a small fish in a big ocean than been a big fish in a small pond.
With that I wont see myself that I have arrive but work harder , learn from other fish and grow not limited by my small pond.
You win for the most random contest @elitemoonshiner,
Being "distracted" is a cool way to describe the welcome home ceremony.
If you are speaking biologically the answer is too obvious. A big fish in a small pond will soon die. A small fish in a big pond will find competition and dangers but will always have a place to hide and always room to grow.
If you are speaking financially or socially then perhaps it may seem more fun to be a big fish in a small pond. You can throw your weight around and get things done locally. The problem is that when there is trouble in the small pond you are the first to be blamed and you are the first to be caught and fried.
It seems then it is better to be a small fish in a big fish pond. At least you can swim away and no one will notice you. It is easy to blend in with new environments and just keep swimming...
How about on social media?
This is the eye opening question. Hive is a tiny pond compared to the huge ocean of Centralized social media. Would you rather be a whale on Hive or a minnow on youtube???... That question is not fair because it is comparing apples and Daphne fruits. A better question is, "Would you rather be a small dolphin on Hive or the biggest whale on Proofofbrain?"
Being the biggest whale has too many responsibilities. I kind of enjoy just swimming around and not being noticed. I'll take the third biggest whale position^^

Thank you. I had a creative comment spree yesterday.^^
Being a small fish in a big pond would be better than being a big fish in a small pond. A big fish in a small pond will most likely not survive long and even if it does it won't grow to its full potential because its growth would be limited by its environment.
However a small fish in a big pond might find it hard in the beginning but as time goes on it will find it way around and since it's in an enabling environment it may end up growing that naturally expected.
Thanks for a great comment 😀
Congrats on post number 1000! That is a big milestone!!
I would for sure want to be a big fish in a small pond haha. I have to admit I quite like attention and being present haha I admit I am quite loud and present as well...
Even thou am here late now,but of all after reading all the comments of others,I want to say that @blezyn as really spoken my mind too and I have less to say here right now but let me just use this to join the contest
But according to what she as said above,I will love to twist it a little bit ,by saying it is very important that we should be productive irrespective of how big or small we are, productivity does not need to do with size or level atbm times,but it deal with our desire to be the best and to communicate impact on daily basis,that is why to me being a big fish or small one is always been well useful irrespective of the size
