Re: Miserable vs Successful short men

CorporateGuy -Your praise of my posts really made my day. Thanks. Yes, I always hope that my perspective helps younger guys deal with our shared challenge in life and be successful. I appreciate your taking the time to comment.
Hey, younger guys-- listen to this: my wife, my kids, my friends, my coworkers and professional associates never think about my height or talk about it in normal conversation. It's not an issue; it's a fact, like hair color. To them, I just am who I am. They think about my personality, my words and deeds, my moral fiber, my character. Yes, I can list off every single disadvantage and pain-in-the-neck moment that i have to live through, but to my loved ones, it's not an issue. To the general public of strangers around me, it is. The opinions of loved ones are based on my entire being; the general public sees only a short guy. Loved ones matter; strangers don't.
I have a friend who is 6'7". An acquaintance. I see him now and then. He is 50 something and has never married, does not own a home, has no career, and really, has never done anything with his life. When he was 25 he was THE hot guy-- because he was TALL. He would give anything to have my life experiences and have a loving wife and kids and grandkids and have been on TV and radio like I have. Young guys-- please keep that in mind. When you are born destined to be short, you have a rock to climb. Climb it. Darn it, climb it. What you want is respect and admiration and friendship from people who matter. You'll get that if you climb the rock.
