I Swim in Different Ponds

On the way back from PodCamp Toronto I had a funny thought. You know that old saying about being the big fish in a small pond? I took that a bit farther and figure that most of us swim in different ponds, they all very in size as do we depending on which pond.

In the social media community, partly those at PodCamp Toronto, I’m a pretty small fish, there is a subset of podcasters in that community that I’m perhaps a little but bigger of a fish, and I’m more then happy being there. I’m a substantially larger size fish in a different pond, which luckily happens to be the one where I get my food!, and to my knowledge no one in the social media community is even in that pond.

My point is you have to realize your place in every situation and be OK with it OR you have to swim up stream to change ponds!

  • I was thinking about the same thing yesterday, yet didn't come up with the "swimming in different ponds" as eloquently as you just did. I'm OK with being a bigger fish in some ponds and a smaller fish than others, so long as we mostly swim in the pond we didn't pee in ... or something like that. (That didn't sound right.)
  • lol That's not a bad line! I might expand on that in a later blog post!
