Johanna,

My dad told me, “Son, never confuse the size of the dog in the fight with the size of the fight in the dog.”

Thinking you’re 7 feet tall works for you because inside, you are 7 feet tall.

Hi Johanna, You are 7 feet tall in your mind so it’s no wonder the same approach works for you. :-) Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Gee Steve, your approach works for me :-)) I just think I’m 7 feet tall.
On the other hand, I have also learned from Esther, and sometimes see how quiet I can be and still get people’s attention. I’m not so good at the quiet part :-)

Hi Dwayne, Some tall people may be ruling the world, but I’m not one of them. :-) Thank you for the feedback.

Absolutely. I also raise my hands and say what you say, but being half a foot shorter and having a less booming voice, I get the desired result much less than 95% of the time…
