Some people are tall, some short and some average. However, there are some people whose height make them distinct ones. Height does play an important factor in our outlook. What type of dress shall we wear is determinant on our height?
We often get our nicknames because of our distinguished heights. People often recall others through their height! So yes heights are important and thereby I was amazed to search upon the heights of shortest people alive on the earth.
