Does Height Equal Power?

Mr Trump,
It's a little funny - "Taller the height, better the success". There are many successful people who are short in height.

Mr. Trump,
Standing a stunning 5'3" myself, I think the equation should be: ambition + effort = power. I consider myself successful in my industry and have met my personal goals with out adopting a Napolean complex. A person of height to me is someone I can ask to reach something off the top shelf, and I have to remind to watch their heads. I suspect if you were to investigate the person responsible for the study is probably tall himself.

Become the person you want to be. The physical restrictions can hinder, but a person can also improvise to overcome. Too fat, too short, too thin, etc...At the end of the day who cares. The power is with-in you to overcome.

It is a sad truth we are judged by society by physical traights and other traights. However, you can find the inner strength to overcome. Tap into the resources to inspire you.

Sure, Mr. Trump! touchee! it does! as much i love seqoia trees, just imagine the dynam pumping the water as high that the very top leaf nervures are not suffering by thirst sustaining the dream of touch the sky step by step a bit higher! about the dynam the power generally just imagine the Tour Eiffel without light so the eam with Mr. Edisson give that time a special PVP that time, but the most save lifes towers, that guardians on the beach the LightTowers, as higher and powerfull the light the best for captains on the waters to guide safely the people the goods the treasures they care with..hmm, as capricious the water may be is present constantly at flux time reaching the beach with small stone gifts or sea stars or..ok, serious now, as blessed guidance that towers are to help go out of the Fog and step into Light path, as higher we expand our dreams the different the perspectief the eye is perceiving... Let*s imagine: Palestina.That Middle East fighting the last +300years(?) and the destruction is at peak there and it contagiate the surroundings.. well, is about how high the soul may go to surround the places there and make the difference: if the distroy process we persuade from the scratch to get the vision of skyscrapers on the beaches to welcome tourists: by plane by the sea by the train to the central LightTower of the World : Jerusalem! As God gived names to all things on the Earth,have a name too: Yehova , old Scriptures know about and that light of the Truth may shine free will too, not hidden by..who know who and why?! He is higher than us and for sure more powerfull as large the perfection of his creation is!! OUR BRAIN, THE HEART THE EAR THE EYE THE BIRTH MIRACLE, THE SMILE THE TOUCH THE TASTE ARE GITFS!!! as the blue sky the green planet the water and the birds freedom song the flowers fragrance the seasons chic show 7 stars quality when not affected by polution..and HE has choosed Jerusalem Mount as Meeting Temple Home . The only gift we may give back FREE WILL as thanks for his veery special gifts He create with love and excellence for us. He gave his Son as LightPath for us to follow as attitude and to go there on his Footsprint to meet with them and share the heart gifts in Spirit Summit as a light growing worldwide...Jesus as his Son the ONE and the Best!! And as much the power he has from the Father as give life back to Lazar 4 days after death!! the secret of life itself no one knows as much we respect the vision some scientists have thissame ask them to respect the science wrotten in the Book Gift the Father gived to us, on which each word and each promise is fulfilled(may people on the Earth know that long term fidelity?) From Babilon conquered in detail by Cirus and fulfilled hundred years after wrotten word from Sodoma to the Son of God in Efrata(location details to recognise as 30silver coins pay to sell the Son*s life). Wrotten and fulfilled and if some market expert may predict in hundreds of years so acurate events than think at +3000 years from the Bible and at his 800years wrotten, but the spirit and homogenity is impressief actual and on going.Revelation has 2 options, light or distruction. the way God it does it , well, our guns and polution is nothing but our free will to obey and listen his: Come!to the Nations&no one may stop it! The safe low risk path on the :1 day in God Home is 1000 years of Peace on the Earth. As Luca said:to build a tower,before must calculate how much it will cost!! So from the scratch on Palestina(as welcome open gate it was New York before enter as11-th in Union)is a duty of each nation,to build skyscrapers serving the special meeting as Jesus served the poor the opressed the weak by heal with LOVE, nothing more than Bible: each one 10-th part of our incomes,particulars, business and country , enlarge Pavel trips to the 7 churches as far as thirst of God light is on Earth! Mr Trump,I stand up too to serve higher purpose! As Trump Team,thanks, Daniela

I don't believe this results from there being some inherent ability for tall people to succeed but rather the psychological effects of being short. My best friend is 5'2", and because he is a male there are plenty of people who talk down to him (litterally and figuratively). Now, he has developed a thick skin but I can see how most people who are short would feel bad about being short which could weigh on self-confidence. If they feel bad about themselves then it is not a streach to say that they will not be successful. So rather than there is some innate ability for tall people to be successful I believe it has more to do with ones perspective about themself.

I found from my experience, shorty people more trick for business deal than tall people. Tall people have great self-confidence to tell their business ideas. Anyway, no matter your height, I expect people have great self-confidence for business deal.

Like you taller is not success, but how do you explain the olympics and the glob trotters? The truth of the matter is they are all only Ms. keller's children in school. another successfull single mommy/support a good govment jokebook.May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Mr. Mrs. Trump,
Would you care to say success is permment w/observations.

Back to Scram? If you would still like me to I will.

Mr Trump,
I know you by the apprentice which shows that you are really a tough boss, likewise a successful real estate tycoon. i admire you a lot.
you are tall enough to be successful. however, i don't agree that taller people tend to be successful than shoter do. maybe it is right that over the years presidents in the U.S. are tall men. it is not necessarily true in other nations. i believe the professor's study on the relation between tall man and short one is unfounded., groundless. he just focused on one specified place in the world. i think she should be more comprehensive before coming to a conclusion.

Okay, I have to say something here. Recently, my business law teacher stated that most people are intimidated by big men with deep voices. I had to stifle my laughter, because I am not like most people. I am not intimidated by big men with deep voices at all; in fact, I'm rather attracted to them. If this study has truth to it, then you could say I'm attracted to power. But that statement could also ring true, as I do find myself attracted to Mr. Trump and his sons, Don, Jr. and Eric. At the same time, my attraction could have less to do with power and more to do with the possibility that these men may be big in "other areas." I'll let you figure out what I mean there. ;)

i didnt expect this discussion here, although it is quit cute. I think it is about awareness of ones surroundings. A person that is tall may benefit with an ability to see over a crowd and understand the direction, although anyone that is aware can notice the difference between an entrance and an exit. Wherever I go, Respectfully with courtesy, I watch others in order to prevent mishap. I dont just plan my own movements, yet predict everyone else’s actions. I am taller than average, and when I travel to countries where the average is even less than here, most look up to me to guide them. I think I am brought to the challenge to lead more often because of my height and this perhaps fuels my adaptation to analyze the world. Although sometimes some people are just negligent, regardless of height a lack of awareness is an inability. The next question does height effect an individual and limit their success in society? Depends, do they limit themselves in their own ability to deal. And if they don’t, do they seek a territorial advantage, they don’t call it home field advantage for nothing. Regardless of physical nature, a person aware of the world can plan how to move in any body, and their only restrictions are that of which they place on themselves. An individual builds a reputation then this becomes the man. Maybe a play on philosophy as a part of this idea, when I am around a large group of people I look to see them. People are self aware of their own existence, and I find that some are aware of the existence of others, yet there are some that are aware of the existence of people, even though they can not physically see their existence at that moment in time. If you see a door, you know someone will enter, although it is that timing of existence. Knowledge of existence before an action takes place enters the pure form of matrix thought and the passion for mathematics. So to inadvertently understand an act as it takes place results in a sequence of events. Leesa (and i) love to talk about the ribbon in the sky, even though at times the two of us may disagree on the weaves of the tie. Predictability and reliability lay more on a man’s conscious of leadership than that of physical presence. (and a woman’s view of leadership, well that is another story).

Hello, Mr. Trump,

You said, "I think you can project success in many ways and it certainly has nothing to do with your physical stature."

No doubt, just look at Napoleon. ;)

Yes, it's true bigger is better. People who are taller are much more successful than short people. History shows us that tall people make much more money and get better things in life than short people. I'm tall, and when I walk out my house and mix in with sea of people in the crowd, I look over the heads of all the millions of people around me and it feels just like looking over the horizon! Tall... is in!

Mr. Trump,
From my own experience, I've noticed that there is, for sure, something to how one projects him or herself onto others, that makes others respond more positive or negative in a business situation. I've seen Don Jr., on the Apprentice, and even live that matter, speak with a very deep and commanding tone of voice. I try to be as professional as I can in my business dealings, and part of this has been how I speak. When I speak the way Don Jr. speaks, I seem to almost intimidate others to the point of submission... or at the very least, get them to work a little harder, lol.

D. L.

My family is tall. Yet they work hard. I worked with a tall lad at one point in my life, and he was slow as molasses and actually turned to me and said, why do I have to work ?

I harkened back to Moosehead in the Archie comic books. The media has a way of stereo typing role models.

Which came first the chicken or the egg ?

Interesting blog. I would think that height gives most of us an extra edge, but you still have to have the education, motivation, etc. to help you achieve success. I'm a woman that's a little over 6 feet tall and I find that I literally do stand out in a crowd compared to others and consequently others do seem to remember me for that reason. It gives me that little extra star quality or whatever. But if you didn't have the brains, motivation, and skills that you have, Mr. Trump, I suggest your height would not have done much for you other than help you reach objects placed on tall shelves!

First, let me express that what I lack in height, I more than make up for in volume! Does height equal power? No, strength does.

I do always follow a tall person when I am Christmas shopping because a short person stands below the average eye level of the crowd, and when I am in the lead, I get elbows in my eyes, and I make big people trip. A tall leader has the power to part the way, and I can shop without injury. I suppose if I wore safety green or a really tall hat I could lead.

Seriously, being tall might make people look up to you (literally) momentarily, but to keep their attention, you need a lot more. Power comes from many things. It can come from position and title, from ability to influence, from assets that can be leveraged, from knowledge, from strength, from reputation, from energy conversion.

One thing to keep in mind if you are tall. You have mega miles more arteries and veins. Your heart works harder to do the same task as us micro models. Keeping those race tracks clear of build up is a bigger task. Keeping hydrated, movement to allow circulation to flow, good diet and excercise are each very important. Your health is a priceless and irreplaceable resource. Without it, your brain won't accomplish very much.
