    Big Fish in a small pond, or Small Fish in a Big Pond?

    Do you prefer to stand out in a small group or be merely among the top of a large group?

    Examples:
    Top student at a smaller, less known school or just the top half of a big school?

    Ferrari owner in a small city with few/no other exotics, or in a place like SoCal or Florida where there are many? (Do not consider climate - just the local exotic car population)

    Be a rich person in Canada or Australia where you'd be considered really wealthy and stand out, or be considered moderately wealthy among the ranks of LA, NYC, Monaco, etc? Or maybe even a super wealthy family in second world country vs. moderate wealth in America?

    Partner or owner of a small business/firm, or an executive/partner of a large corporation/firm?

    My dad is a big fish in a little pond, and
    I always hated it growing up, people looked at me diff, never really knew who my real friends were.

    I MUCH prefer being unknown, I usally dress really casually and drive a pontiac with a 120k miles on it to the office most days.

    It's best being the fisherman. Screw being a fish.

    I prefer to be a brown squirrel in the land of the 310 big fishes.

    Or a Royal bengal tiger, when I am in a different part of the world ;)

    Perhaps you'd like to reconsider? Evolution has been unnecessary in our friends the sharks...pretty brutal. Nice to see the "lesser creatures" kick our puny asses occasionally.

    Small fish in a big pond. Life is just as good and I can live /w/out all the attention, negative or otherwise.

    Ha!

    Did I mention that the guy across the street just bought a 50' stretch Hummer limo?

    I got an invite in the mail to take a look at the Maybach here in Shanghai yesterday. I thought it was overpriced for $300k in the states. Over here, its almost a mil...
