There is a thing I have heard in Social Psychology before. My teacher once said the success of one person depends on his body position, if he sits like a boss, leaning on the chair with legs sticking out and crossed together, most likely he would become a manager or supervisor. If the person always sits with his head staring at the table, most likely he would be working for minimum wage.

Have anyone heard of something like this before?

I've heard things like that, but I've never seen much proof to it.
I know a guy who always sat and stared down, never said much...
Now he's the OWNER of a very lucrative furniture business locally. His son is the same way, and he is the web designer/top image designer type person of the store. I thought maybe it was because his father owned it, but when I looked into it he's actually very good at what he does, and he is paid very highly.

In another case, I know someone who is very loud, always sits the "boss" way [much as I am now, by the way] and yet he currently works at a McDonald's.


So it's iffy, but I think it's due to "if you sit that way, you must have the mentality to go along with it."
