Reply to LPT Request: How can I actually grow taller? by korggyy

We have a friend whose son was "small" growing up. Short, very skinny. As a teenager they put him on growth hormones to help him out. It's hard to tell whether he got much taller, but he definitely has a more "balanced" physique. Some of that was from the gym, some was probably from the growth hormones. He got into rock climbing where his frame size is an asset for him. He is in college now and looks like he has a healthy build. He will never be 6'3", but that is the way the genetic dice rolled for him. His dad is 5'11' and his mom is average for a woman, so it was just a fluke for him.

Also, most importantly, don't let things that you can't change define you. It's OK to find things to improve on to make yourself happy, but don't spend your life thinking your are "less than" because of your height, frame, or anything else.

Just be good to other people and you will attract the right people.

100% this.

Right there with you. Been traveling for work for 25 years. Million miler, blah blah blah. I dislike flying so much that I drive whenever I have the opportunity. I'll drive 1000 miles if it lets me avoid another flight.

Reply to LPT Request: How to meet rich and successful people? by neomattlac

u/neomattlac Let's clarify what you mean by rich and successful. Do you mean net worth over a $1 million and an income over $250k (roughly top 5%) or do you mean wealthy, net worth over $25 million and annual income over $1 million (top 1%)? Or do you mean super-wealthy (top .1%)? The reason I ask is that there are lots of successful people in the first category who might be accessible to you. Many small business owners fit the first category even though you might not think they do. Each of the groups I've outlined runs in different circles and have different levels of accessibility.

Based on this thread I don't think you want to just meet them, it sounds like you want to interact with them and learn from them. That isn't going to happen if you have a one-time social interaction. You need a mechanism by which you are engaging with them on a regular basis so that you get to know them. Depending on the group you are targeting, the approach is going to be different. Let us know your goal and we can give you a path you might follow.
