Okay here is the thing, like I"m 5 8 with shoes on, so yeah anything over 5 7 I do not go after, like I do want taller kids, so maybe I should move to Norway, however, point is study shows that in like 96% of all CEO of Fortune 500 companies, their 'visionary' is atleast 5 11. That is a telling statistic, American Express is one company that differs, like their CEO is 5 9 and black.
My point is on some level we associate culturally leader qualities, wisdom, foresight, and success with height. Its only natural. However, that said, I don't think that I have ever been held back socially, due to my lack of height, Hell I'm alot a taller than my height, as John Leguziamo said.
I think if anything, it allows me to be quirky, or whatever, cause a taller guy associated with leadership has to be more direct, and much more suave. I dunno, I think there are certain advantadges to not being too short, but kinda short. In my case, its allowed that I be aloof or whatever, and that way my non linear style of expression isn't seen as weird, cause well its expected.
Hell, it becomes more of a novelty... who doesn't dig novelty?
Yeah, I wish I were taller, 5 8 with shoes on is okay, but yeah I would rather be 6 2 and run a 4. 24 forty, but Yeah, I'll live.
