Short Man Syndrome and Other Stories

Too many of us go through life getting the "short-end of the stick", cheating ourselves of the best that the world has to offer. But not Tony Lam. He learned early on to ask himself why not live life large?, why not go for the gold?

Life didn't start out too promising for Tony. He could have been stigmatized from infancy when his pediatrician told his mom that her son would grow up to be a short man, relatively speaking.
