Professor, you have a towering intellect and are a very wise man. Your acceptance of yourself as you are has enabled your many accomplishments. I very much appreciate this newsletter. By the way, Danny DeVito is pretty accomplished also.

Better Madison. Napoleon has a notorious psychological complex named for him.
" The Napoleon complex, known informally as small people syndrome, is a syndrome normally attributed to people of short stature. It is characterized by overly aggressive or domineering social behavior, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subject's physical or social shortcomings."
Agreed. It was tongue in cheek. The truth is a tall man may benefit from being tall (a physical attribute which benefits himself).
However, the professor offers a plethora of knowledge, experience and compassion. And he makes the rest of us better for it; especially if we take his lessons to heart...:)
Madison, our smallest president, father of the Constitution, overcame being called 'Little Jemmy' or 'His Little Majesty.'
There are intrinsic benefits. E.G. Robert benefitted when he was rejected for the draft. He didn't mention it this time. Would have made a great tunnel rat.
Oh my Daniel; that's dark. Thank heavens that he was rejected; that damned war 'effed up more souls I've known than I care to recount. Bob's nature to charge ahead anyway would've likely gotten him killed or maimed.
NAPOLEON COMPLEX? THE 'LITTLE CORPORAL' WAS ACTUALLY TALLER THAN AVERAGE.
"The legend about Napoleon’s physical stature — or lack thereof — begins with his recorded height, which his personal physician, Francesco Antommarchi, listed as just over “5 pieds 2 pouces,” or 5 feet 2 inches. However, that was in the old French system, where an inch measured 2.7 centimeters, or 1.063 inches in the contemporary U.S. system.
Based on those calculations, Napoleon was just under 5 feet 6 inches tall. The average for a Frenchman in the early 18th century was slightly over 5 feet 5 inches"
As a woman who is 5’10” tall, I was always looking for the over six feet guys. As I look back though, I can honestly say that my favorite boyfriend ever was short. He had confidence, was smart, fun and really knew how to treat a woman 😉

Also true…
Or pilot...:)
😵💫Eeep.
Probably true, though
Who is EG Robert? Sorry, I don’t mean to sound naive....:)
e.g. = abbreviation for exempli gratia: a Latin phrase that means "for example". It can be pronounced as "e.g." or "for example":
Thanks, I know what e.g. is, I thought he was referring to a guy. EG Robert. I stand corrected...:)
Honestly, it *threw me for a moment too. Punctuation errors was the only way it made sense to me Bob; it has to be.
... who actually was of average height. “Napoleon = short” is wrong.

😮😮😮😮
Napoleon was actually about 5 foot 6 inches tall, no shorter than the average Frenchman.
