Mr Pingping
19-year-old Pingping, Born in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, measures only 73 centimeters (2.4 feet), recently succeeded in applying for the Guinness World Record as the world’s shortest man!!!
Apart from the fact of being a holder of such a unique record.. what i like about him[see pic] is the way he stands for himself[inspite of his short comings] and the confidence he exudes in doing so...lets take a leaf out of his life and try to learn and be our self for "its better to be a first rate Gershwin than to be a second rate Berlin"
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill.
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush, if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass.
If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass-
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew.
There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser to do
And the task we must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun, be a star;
It isn't by the size that you win or you fail-
Be the best of whatever you are!

Cant believe that he can be so short. This guy reminds me of that short guy in "Austin Powers" :D.
Good poem and good post.
Just read about him in the morning paper. And good poem...I was always the shortest in my class till about the 7th standard...somehow I never let that affect me. Its the spirit within that matters.
