in competition, love, war, and geocery shopping, some have advantages over others. but are these advantages fair or unfair?

Using Your Unique Gifts

Don’t remember where I read it, but apparently Abraham Lincoln was once challenged to a duel by a political opponent. Standing 6’4” tall and being the challenged party, Lincoln was invited to select the location for the deadly contest, and to choose the weapons that would be used.

Preferring not to fight, Lincoln famously chose sledgehammers for weapons while standing in 6’ of water. The duel was called off.

That a fair enough advantage for you?
