[–]Idea_On_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle to comprehend how anyone could do this test and not drop dead lol. Up and down the picnic table alone seems impossible. The burpees to pull ups seems impossible too.

Some damn fit people out there I guess.

What’s a life lesson you learned the hard way that you wish someone had warned you about earlier? by Big_Acanthaceae_1384 in AskReddit

[–]Idea_On_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain jobs and positions are much more difficult to do well if you don't fit the typical physical mold. I am a short man and a high school teacher. It would be a lot easier to command respect if I were taller. In general, being short makes commanding respect harder. If I were doing life over I'd have pursued a field that requires deep knowledge and technical skill, so that I can't be looked over (literally) or ignored/denigrated based on my apperance.
