You are not that bad, make full use and stimulate potential power

Hot 3765 views. 2016-4-17 08:46 | potential, ordinary, primary, always, little

When I was at primary school, I was just a little boy just as ordinary as other playmates. At a time, there were some guys from upper grades always seeked chances to bully those little boys.  I was told from parents that I should be ok and do not get involved in that kind of mess. But it was hard to control and avoid if they were really in the middle of the my way home after school or just stopping me by asking some poecket money. Picturing that a little boy with little money how could he tackle those bad eggs? I sometimes would think of that when I was on the way. Blessed from god, I just went smoothly from that age, and in few years, those bad guys also graduted to high school. 

Then I grew taller, not the little boy any more. Those schoomates who were taller than me at primary school they would head up to look at me when we entered the middle school. Changed. I felt good. Thus, I relized one's appearance, espcially the height, to some level, matters a lot. Even now people view the height as the standard in many fields. Even dating, girls and boys see each other and think over the height. That is normal, we always want to find some who are good look with nice shape. 

When I graduated from college, after saying goodbye to the four-year's study, I met kinds of people. Then I gradually found more people who just are not that high, but also gain social status and fame. Though a man or a girl with good figure would take the edge of their advantage, while it is the world proves the number one rank to those who are really deserved to win that title by their ability-the height is just a reason among those influential elements. We cannot choose to be higher or more handsome after birth, while we can choose to stive for what we might want.

After few years of work, long sedentary work style amasses fat on the waist, weight goes up as the fat grows when I definitely feel uncomfortable by reading from the scale. Meanwhile, I felt not that appetitive and was not so flexible. That surely made me down for a while. The fitness is important while I did not know that till I started to realize it then. Never too late to bring everything back in time. When I was at school, I could not run over 1000 meters. That distance of running made me a nightmare. Only at a time when the physical teacher felt that we boys were really too naughty and did not follow his instructions, then we were asked to run ten laps on the playground. God, that is 4000m. Now I am ok with that. Every stage I conquer, I feel that jubilant from by taking over 3 kms, 5 kms, 10 kms, and whatever there is no end.

Both life and work are just so matched to be partners. Any of each side does not work well if another one has problems. We are more stronger than what we have thought before.

Interesting account of your physical development. Yes, I do agree that for a male, height does have some significance. Unfortunately, for me, a tall physique brought me misery. I was already 1.82M when I was a teenager. I was way taller then all my schoolmates and I stood out in any graduating photos in school. Others see me as strange. At that age, I didn't know what was the truth so I felt unhappy. Later a friend told me how painful it was to be short and only then I realized the truth. Later some girls from the  opposite girls school (Sweet Monita ) tried to befriend me saying that they liked my tall build and silky hair. That boosted my confidence. Don't mistake this as showing off or self praise but these are sweet memories for me These girls are now happily married with children and are still my goods friends today with regular contact.

However, with age came other problems. I was gaining weight but fortunately, I attended to that problem early through exercise. I did not jog but every morning I walked up the hill near my home to the beautiful grassland where there were Japanese, Korean, Americans and other nationalities doing physical exercise. They jogged past me while I was walking and they encouraged me to jog with them so I followed and started jogging. It was quite effective and my weight was back to fit.

Nature is fair and gave every person some personal advantages. Those advantages could be talent in languages, mathematics, music, science or whatever and all we have to do is to exploit those advantages to our benefit. Never underestimate your own potential.

No. I don't think short for girls is bad.
If a girl is tall will look like a man.
You are ok. Just be happy.
