Think About It

Howard Goldberg (the director of the movie Short & Male) made a powerful statement while promoting his film when he said,

“I mean, I say in the film that the worst thing you can do is think about being short. But I also wonder if the worst thing you can do is not think about it.”

What do you think about this statement?
