Although I feel as if people should not be judged by their height, I believe it is possible to explore the potential benefits and advantages of being the best height in the world, 5-foot, 8 and a half.
Being a little under the average height in America has a number of advantages. People this height might find it easier to navigate knowing the likelihood to encounter low-hanging doorways or branches being a problem is very very low. It is also easier to find clothes that fit as well, even if made in different countries.
Short people are more comfortable in small spaces and also have a lower risk of health issues. Short people also appeal to a younger, more youthful demographic. Although studies show that taller people seem to have more authority or leadership roles, there are many other factors than just height.
People seem to forget how many short individuals there are who are just absolutely incredible. Kevin Hart is 5 feet, 5 inches tall and is an outstanding comedian, Tom Cruise is 5-foot-7 man and a great actor, Bruno Mars is 5 feet, 5 inches to all and a beautiful singer and Jack Black is 5-foot-6 actor. All of these males are shorter than me, yet very successful.
Height is something you also cannot control. Being a twin with a girl, it is scientifically proven to make the male twin over an inch shorter than what they are supposed to be. My dad also married a short cheerleader, which is not my fault either. So, who cares?
It is also important to recognize that height is a physical characteristic and has nothing to do with a person’s worth or ability. People should rather focus on the unique qualities of a person rather than their physical characteristics. Ultimately, what matters most is how we treat others and the positive impact we have on the world around us, as well as the relationships we have and the people we meet.
Also, girls should not care if their significant other is taller or shorter than them. There are a lot of women who refuse to date someone shorter, no matter who they are or who the male is. To me, this is the same thing as not dating someone because of their weight or anything to do with physical appearance. You should only be with someone because of their personality, including not being lazy, as well as all the other qualities.
Being my height is a great height to be. I have never wished I was taller, not once. I feel as if my height was different, I would be a different person and be thought of differently. And, I feel as for sports, it does not affect the positions I play – for football, it honestly is probably better to be the height that I am, making it easier to change directions and be shifty.
5-foot, 8 and a half is the best height in the world for me, and your height is the best in the world for you.
