Continuous exploration and learning

Europe's tallest people are clustered in one cold, wet corner of the continent, and they did not get there on rye bread.

The Dutch top the list at around six foot, but right behind them come the Scandinavians, Norwegians and Danes pushing five foot eleven and beyond as a national average. These are people whose land grows almost no crops and plenty of grass, water and cold. So they lived off what the ground could actually give: dairy from the cows, fish from the fjords, meat and fat to get a body through a winter that means it.

Look at their modern athletes and the diet is still doing its work. Norway, a country of barely five million, keeps turning out enormous, powerful sportsmen who move like the weather that raised them. That is not the fluke of a small population. That is what happens when generation after generation is built on milk, fish and meat instead of a foundation of grain.

The warm, fertile, grain-growing belts of the world did not produce the giants. The cold, barren, animal-fed north did. The soil that could not raise a decent loaf raised the tallest people on the continent instead.

You do not build a Viking on porridge. You build one on the herd and the sea.

Myth: A tax refund means you did everything right. Reality: A refund usually means you overpaid throughout the year. A refund is not bad. But it is not automatically a tax strategy. ❓ The better question: Did your tax outcome match your plan?
