I acknowledge that there's a difference and that it needs to be made up for in other ways.

Everyone has challenges. Tall people, minorities, gay people, short people, poor people, rich people... the list is endless.

We all have challenges.

We shouldn't measure ourselves by our challenges. We should measure ourselves by the effort we put in to overcome.

When I see a handicapped person climb a mountain, the thing I find extraordinary isn't the handicap, it's the phenomenal effort to transcend.

I don't have anything close to those problems. I'm just a bit vertically challenged.

I'll be double damned if I'm going to let that hold me back, or bemoan how unlucky I am because of it.
