 leg-lengthening surgery to make yourself taller. This grisly cosmetic procedure costs tens of thousands of pounds and involves getting one's legs broken, having metal rods screwed into the thigh bones and learning to walk again with months of rehabilitation.

A 1.83m-tall person typically earns nearly US$166,000 (S$238,000) more over a 30-year career than a 1.65m person, US researchers found in 2004.... every extra 10cm of height added 3 per cent to hourly wages for men, and 2 per cent for women.

it might go back to early human instincts to ascribe leaderly qualities to tall people deemed to be better protectors. Others think tall people themselves have more confidence and self-esteem, which, in turn, makes them more likely to succeed.

Finally, statistics do not tell the whole story. History is full of leaders who achieved much, despite being of average height. So if you ever come across anyone thinking of getting their legs lengthened, tell them to sit down, sober up and think of Winston Churchill.
