Years ago I've been approached by this relatively big gorilla called Kong who asked me this exact same question. I told him to stop worrying about the size, but worry about the deeds. He said "I will think about it, thank you" and left.\n\nYears later I saw him much taller, climbing up the Empire State Building with a blonde in his palm, spotlights all over him. He seemed to be the center of attention. He became a King. I hollered from down below:\n\n"Happy?"\n\nHe said\n\n"Hell yeah.But I think I'm tall enough!"\n\nEventually he took one wrong turn, fell to his demise. So the moral of the story is:\n\n"Be happy with who you are, it might take you places. But watch where you're going, even if you're tall, you can still fall from taller places."\n\nSo my answer is: don't do anything to stop getting taller. If Kong was only a little bit taller than he was, he would be living today with other giants like Godzilla.
