Unfortunately, looks do play a factor in life. It's the first thing people notice. However, I believe there are many other traits and ways to shine. I'm sure you've heard them before......dressing neat and clean. Smiling. Demonstrating a caring, positive attitude.
Beauty shows two ways.......the outward superficial appearance....and the inner beauty. Fortunately, the inner beauty has the enduring brightness.
Just remember, there are many 'beautiful' people who are downright ugly.
