Actual height of the person is the height he reached by his ability and should be measured from shoulder to the top position he is holding and not from head to foot.
Napoleon Bonaparte was a Military general who became the first emperor of France. His drive for military expansion changed the world. One of the greatest commanders in history, his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. Napoleon’s legacy has made him one of the most celebrated and controversial political figures in human history. He said “I never get angry when contradicted; I seek to be enlightened” this was his strong point.
But from childhood he was humiliated and criticized many times because of his short height. Once it happened Napoleon noticed a clock which was fixed at a good height showing wrong time and as he always used to value time he thought “it’s not good to show wrong time and let me correct that. His body guard said “Please wait .You will not be able to reach because of your short height but I shall help you do so.”
Napoleon replied “Better use correct language. Your physical height may be more but I reached a higher position than yours.”He reacted this way because of the inferiority complex he developed due to the criticism he faced from his very childhood. He proved there was a difference between height ( लम्बाई) and position( ऊँचाई).
Actual height of the person is the height he reached by his ability and should be measured from shoulder to the top position he is holding and not from head to foot.
From today be aware of your weaknesses which developed inferiority complex in you and try to overcome them by thinking you are gifted because God has a better plans for you. There must be a reason and use your weaknesses as your strength. This weakness made a common person Narendra Modi- Prime minister of our country who alone can take any challenging and bold decision.
Feel that whatever happened was good, whatever is happening is better and whatever is to happen will be the best. In this way no matter what happens you will be undisturbed and you will gain the power of acceptance. No one can get success until and unless one faced challenges.
So please focus on these weaknesses. When the people criticized you, made fun of your short comings you should take them as challenges. Know that healthy criticism improves us. In this way can get rid of our inferiority complex.
Now close your eyes and focus on your forehead. Accept all your weaknesses and face all criticisms as challenges. Give the thought of overcoming weaknesses in your subconscious mind and be sure that it will be done.
