Would you prefer to be a “Big Fish in a Small Tank” or “Small Fish in a Big Tank”? I was asked.

Hmm….my choice is to be a “Small Fish in a Big Tank”.  This gives the opportunity to explore and interact, the room to grow and most importantly, sufficient space to breathe!

I can never imagine myself being restricted - confined in a small space, with no room for expansion, and limited movements!  Nope, I wouldn’t want to be in that small space …. even if it means that I could be the “biggest” being in that small set-up to overpower everyone else.

What is your choice?

Then….

Can you imagine a real fish trapped in a small container that hardly provides enough space for it to move? 

When I was in China a few months ago, I came across these fish that were sold in REALLY TINY containers. I wonder how long these poor fish would have to stay in such terrible condition if there were no buyer? How are they going to swim or even grow? Sigh……

……..

Back to real life, I am sure if you feel like me, you wouldn’t want to be “that fish in a small tank”.   Would you?

Bearing a little lesson in mind, I guess I did right these years by learning to move out of my little comfort zone and venturing out.  Similarly, I wouldn’t want my kids to grow up only wanting to be that “fish in a small tank”.
