Why is self-help guru Tony Robbins such a Giant?

In 1994, a routine medical check revealed a tumor in Robbins' pituitary gland. Robbins explains in Personal Power that the tumor was actually an adenoma that had infarcted several years earlier. Due to the pressure of the adenoma on his pituitary gland, he had circulating levels of growth hormone several times higher than what would be normal for an adult his age.

This had resulted in a subclinical manifestation of the disease known as acromegaly, which doctors told Robbins was responsible for his remarkable growth spurts as a teenager, as well as his large hands and feet (he is 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) tall). After consulting with multiple physicians, Robbins decided not to have the adenoma removed, as it was not causing any clinical manifestations.

Interesting, I didn't know.

So if we can accept what we have we can use what we have to our advantage.

In the movie "Shallow Hal" when that short bald actor told him that he had a "Big Noggin." He's a giant" in both meanings of the term. He only made 30 million in 2007.
