“Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length” – Robert Frost
This quote is always true. If there’s one thing in life that many tend to worry about when it comes to their career, choosing a partner, or as simple as getting their photos being clicked and liked, it has to be one’s height. For centuries, we’ve been ridiculing the ones who aren’t “tall enough”. We question their abilities physically and even their achievements in life. But look around you peeps, not everybody is of the same height, right? So how is it that we find ourselves in a position to mark a perfect height for someone else? We cannot because there is really nothing as such.
It is said that taller men and women are associated to be more healthy, intelligent, and dominant in life. It’s said that they end up earning more. And also that “dominance” and “greatness” are two traits which are often associated with them (1). But, on the other hand, no matter what your height is, you can’t make it big in life and achieve your dreams until and unless it’s you work hard for it. It’s the hard work and sheer perseverance that will take you closer to your dreams.
