This proverb means: It's better to be a leader of a small organization than an underling of a big organization
.
Different expression is: It's better to be a big fish in a little pond than a little fish in a big pond . (cf. Progressive Japanese-English Dictionary)
In our language, one of the expressions for this proverb is: it's better to be the head of a chicken than the butt of a bull .
This proverb is introduced in a Chinese ancient history book:
A large country was trying to attack other six neighboring small countries.
A diplomat visited the six small countries and suggested each sovereign that six countries should team up to prevent invasion from the large country.
Using this proverb, he explained that even if their countries were small, it would be better to be independent sovereign states than being colonized by a large country.
With the lapse of time...
The origin country of this historical book complier is now one of the economic powers in the world,
-this historian might deplore.
It is necessary and no doubt that-geographical reason for one thing, since there is no moving the country land
-a nonsense story for sci-fi might come up.
(I recalled an old sitcom:
A duo of private detectives tries to assist a man for a moonlight flit from a loan shark.
The only escape is a path in front of the loan shark office.
They try various means, but they are hindered again and again.
Finally, they drag the client's house in front of the loan shark office. )
However, at the same time...This large country is not everything of the continent and area this country and our country belong to.
Once I read an opinion by an international political analyst that the friendship between this country and our country and neighboring peninsular countries would be important for the world
-But unfortunately, as long as I see the current situation, I'm afraid that it doesn't sound so realistic to me:
Even though we wish friendship than conflicts in our heart of hearts in three countries, but in reality, too many ways to go to make our friendship come true.
In the meantime... rather than struggling over arrogance of this tyrannical totalitarian country, what if our country try to get along better with various other countries that have suffered from similar problems in the area our country belong to...?
I feel it is more realistic -at least, more constructive
including economical aspect .
This is the third time I place this theory: The more constructive, the more positive .

I avoid using proper nouns on 10-line, but as for this diary, it was almost impossible to write with no geographical names at all.
