Ví dụ

Boyle, who is forty and has a thick beard, represents a working-class district in northeast Philadelphia. He wondered why they wanted to talk to him. “I’m not a big shot,” he told me recently. “I represent sixty-five thousand people.” 

It’s incredibly competitive — but not cut-throat like New York or L.A. — it was just a very welcoming community. Everybody is sort of a big shot in their own small town and then everybody goes to Nashville and finds out there are really talented musicians there. It’s a very humbling experience, but if you stick it out it makes you so much better. 

Don’t be like Moira Rose, the matriarch in Schitt’s Creek, who lands upon the small town a cappella (ca sĩ hoặc nhóm nhạc biểu diễn mà không cần nhạc đệm, bài hát được viết với mục đích biểu diễn không nhạc đệm) group with all the subtlety of a grenade (lựu đạn). Just because you’re a big shot in the city doesn’t mean all the people in your new country town are desperately waiting for you to come and be their friend, or join their group or volunteer with their organisation. Of course volunteer groups welcome new members and expertise – but be careful not to foist yourself on to people until you have assessed the lay of the land and held back for a bit.
