Stature

The young man was maybe three feet tall but that wasn't what struck me. Instead it was his confidence and demeanor. He was among a group of friends and was as comfortable as they were and it was so satisfying to witness.

One can imagine how challenging his life has been to date but then there is nowhere to hide is there. He needed to steel his resolve and make a concious decision to let other things do the talking for him. He needed to look beyond his physical stature and is possibly a more mature person for having had to face the slings and arrows of some of the pure idiots walking among us.

People like him should inspire us into confidence and to disregard the masses. For if he can do it we certainly can.
