the question was would you rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in the large ocean i get what the question is asking, but it can be interpreted in many different ways having been in both scenarios, im actually not sure recently i was called by my professor in private, as he told me that i was chosen as student of the year, having the highest grades across all 3 years whilst having a questionable attendance rate i asked him why he said unlike all the other students i had a passion for learning, even outside of university material he said my attendance didnt matter as long as i came in and get the work done at first i was shocked, but i then realised it wasn't as impressive as i thought i mean it was something, but looking at my year, and the uni i go to, it was nothing special to me was this what being the big fish in a small pond felt like? but i dug more what this question meant, it could mean being a leader of a close group, or what about a teacher for a class of 30? being a small fish in a large ocean could mean many things, there was space to grow as a person, knowledge to discover, other small fishes to find and grow (you could also lurk as a small fish) i guess both answers give an interesting tell to a person being in london, i do feel like a small fish, the city is massive, so many people i think i would rather be a small fish it suits me
