> I have made some of my best lifelong friends from old jobs, and wouldn't give up those relationships for anything. Really good people are worth keeping close in your life, and I don't buy the "million fish in the sea" argument.

If you've made multiple high value, life long friends at work then how can you not buy that argument? From a relatively small pond you've landed multiple great catches.

Yep.

Million fish in the sea — just, not yours, if you swim around the same old beach.

What makes you think my pond is relatively small?

Because we're comparing it to "the sea"?

I guess part of my rejection of the “the million fish in the sea” is the lack of sea or at least lack of time to explore it in ones life. My pond is bigger than my sea.

I think we’re taking it too far at this point lol.
