The handsome shall inherit the earth

This is a politically incorrect piece. It contains good advice, so persist, but be warned. I read somewhere that tall, good looking people succeed more often than short, ugly people—at least the tall are more likely to become the leader of the pack. I have worked for some short ugly people and they have all been brilliant, dominating, and successful, so this cannot be entirely true. You have to look only at Napoleon, Bush, or Cheney to know it is not true. Unless you believe Bush Senior is running things behind the scenes like a grand Wizard of Oz.
