About beauty What do you think about beauty? As far as I am concerned, a beautiful picture can not represent a real person. I suppose everyone has the possibility to have beautiful pictures if they were taken from the specific angles. I believe everyone has his/her best look under the specific conditions. Pictures are just for reference, they can not help me to know a person more. I think beauty is not just refering to the external look, although I admit that a beautiful appearance is also important. It is a feast to the eyes. Under the same conditions a person who has a beautiful apperance has a better chance to gain the chance to sucess. But the external look can not last long. The real beauty which can last long should be a general reflection including one's knowledge, good education, behavior, integrity of character, confidence, etc. There is a proverbial saying in Chinese that means that knowlegde makes a man/woman graceful. I think that is the real and long lasting beauty. I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight. ---- Rabindranath Tagore |

Real success is far less to do about the material accessibility one gets or gains. Real and true success is to be a good person with a spiritual character that embraces compassion and has the passions to be engaging with a respectfully regard for and of others.

Beauty comes from the whole of the persons and that begins within the individual.. some may be pleasurable to look at, but that does not mean they have the beauty within . As we see often times, many with the external pleasurable enticements of physical looks, can and does at times mask a very malicious individual, who many times can be vain, selfish, egotistical and monstrous in the manner in which they live, as well as lecherous in the methods they prey upon others. Beauty is and will always be an inner quality. those who cultivate it within, not only find the enduring glow of beauty, it surpasses the quickly fading external looks, which is many times, a delusional distractions, more than it is denoted the substance and quality of character.

Pictures almost always are incomplete. They can only capture an instant, without showing any emotion. The most beautiful person can look horrible, or the opposite. The energy, the humor, the essence of a person is so much more valuable. I still do like to see pictures though
