"If you have a reputation of hard work, genuine charm, genuine care for other people, going the extra mile, confidence, team spirit, etc. -- all those qualities will make you desirable and give you a great reputation."
(This is an obvious instance of the "Just World Fallacy. Furthermore, he's advocating for the notion that short men should have to work extra hard to receive the same respect as everyone else.")
"I've had people exclaim when they met me in person that they imagined a larger man, based on my accomplishments and reputation. Let's be real for a moment, guys. Yeah, at first I was a bit taken aback. You know the drill. But, I took it as a compliment. "
(He took the fact that people diminished his accomplishments because he's short as a compliment. These people gave him blatant evidence of their beliefs that he needs to "know his role" and they feel as though he tricked them into respecting him, but he takes this as a compliment.)
"But, if you come across as a a too-confident jerk, or if people see you as angry, insecure, ticked-off, full of despair, etc. you lose twice."
(He gives a confidence speech that tells short men not to be too confident. He's using the "prove the stereotypes don't exist" argument. We don't get to decide whether others see us as "a too confident jerk." Our behavior has absolutely zero influence in eradicating the bias of others. If others were capable of thinking objectively about short men, they would've never developed the biases to begin with.)
"People will respect you and love you and enjoy your company if they think this thought, "He's short, but he is attractive and successful because he overcame a raw deal and succeeded anyway."
(More Just World Fallacy nonsense. It's incredible that someone can reach the age of 60 and think that the world is adorable enough to ubiquitously adopt a "Little Engine That Could" mentality. He self-admits that people experience dissatisfaction with his height when they meet him in person, so he's living in a fantasy world to believe that his happy-go-lucky little guy act holds any water in determining how people view him. Let's also not forget that he's forced to put forth extra effort to get people to respect him in scenarios where his height is completely irrelevant. The fact that his height is already an issue from the get-go in these scenarios should show him exactly how just and fair this world is regarding short men. The only thing that's impressive about this guy is that he made it to age 60 without dying as the result of complications from carrying around so much cognitive dissonance.)
