When I
was young, I read many kinds of books,
including fairy tales. Most of the books described heroes who were handsome and
heroines who were beautiful. So, I believed I had to be beautiful if I wanted
to become a great person.
As I
grew up, I began to realize outer beauty was
not so important to make someone good. I remember a friend of mine, Janie, who
was so beautiful that every classmate wanted to talk with her, but she was very
arrogant(傲慢的).
She
believed that she could do everything she
wanted because she was so beautiful, but she lost friends one by one. My poor
friend! But she learned a good lesson: inner beauty is more important than
outer beauty. After she learned that, she changed her attitude and made friends
again.
Whenever I see TV
advertisements, I feel that these things make us believe beauty is very
important—especially physical attractiveness (引人注目). Although we say that
inner beauty is more valuable, we often look to plastic surgery(整形手术)to make us more beautiful. It seems to be a popular in plastic
surgery. It is surprising to realize the number of people who try it is
increasing day by day.
We
know good-looking guys usually get higher
scores on job interviews. So, what is real beauty? I want to say that inner
beauty is the real one because if someone has beauty in his soul, he looks like
a really beautiful person.
The
beauty looked at with eyes doesn't last
forever. Instead of concentrating on(专注)outer beauty, we should concentrate on inner beauty. The point is
that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. So, if we make the
effort to make our minds beautiful, we'll be happier.
