When people say that being short is not a problem, I feel that it is a dogwater statement.
First, closely scrutinize your own surrounding. In your workplace, how many of your higher-ups are actually short?
If you ever see a short one, I bet that this guy had put in extra effort than the rest to get to where he is. The rest are just playing the corporate game on an easy mode. Also, what can be worse than being vertically challenged and bullied verbally by a taller boss? How many of you can actually stomach that?
Second, observe social media and the showbiz industry. Do guys of height (~170cm) form the norm, other than a few outliers such as Tom Cruise? Absolutely not.
Third, look at all those male insurance agents and survey personnels approaching you on the street. How many of them are not above 6 feet? Obviously this cannot be a coincidence. They are carefully chosen because they look good parading their own height and marketing the products at the same time.
Fortunately it is not too late. Short guys may be deprived of many opportunities but there is at least one thing that can be done. To all the short kings out there, get the highest education qualification and work hard. Not many people in the world have the ability to reach that level. You can avoid the situation of being bossed around in future with a good quality degree.
Here are what netizens think:
- You can be in the smartest in the room but if you lack eq, you won’t go very far either. You’ve shown that you’re close minded, lack confidence and thought of your lack of height as the only reason causing you misery. Most people don’t care about what you can’t control but what you can control. How you present yourself, are you well groomed, your confidence.Not easy to imagine that there’s a possibility that someone who wrote this can actually carry themselves well and leave a good impression at work. Your mentality usually shows in your behavior too. Make your height an issue and it will become an issue everywhere you go. Your biggest hindrance is your mindset.
- I beg to differ, it is your own belief and you live by it and therefore you are living what you are living.
- You should consider having more of a Napoleon-complex as opposed to having a short-sighted thinking.
