We must be ever vigilant that we do not assign too much credit to a 
limitation for our problems. Only you can decide if you are. Being tall 
does not mean that I am rich, it does not mean that I always get the 
girl. I seldom do. I get plenty frustrated, but I cant always point out 
the reason why, so I must look that much harder. I have been told I had 
an attitude problem many times, especialy when I was younger, and 
especialy by shorter men. It seems you can't be humble or soft spoken 
enough for some people. For tall women it is a thousand times worse. Then 
when you are not as confident and knowledgable as everyone assumes you 
are, because you are tall, you get slapped down that much harder.

I do not have a nagging deamon on my shoulder. I do not have any huge 
disadvantage over the average person. I have noone to blame for my 
failures but myself and I have no handicap to test me. I sometimes think 
is is easier if you can identify a handicap, real or imagined, that way 
you can compinsate for it. All things considered, I will stand on the 
hand I was delt.
