Beauty or Brain?

Everyone knows that the physical appearance is what we notice at first glimpse. The hair, the face, the body—these are what our attentive eyes detect at quick look. From the fairest of creatures to the not so fair, to the most glamorous, sexiest and to the not so appealing. Who does not like beauteous things, beauteous women and gorgeous men? Who does not eye for beauty? But how sad that beauty fades and disappear? It is withered by the ticking of time and the coming of age.

But who does not admire the intelligent and the brainy, who speaks with sense and reasons, in whose head dwells knowledge and wisdom, whose knowledge is not shrunken by time but rather amplified by it. The brilliant minds always awe us.

But to find beauty and brain altogether in one person is infrequent. The beautiful may not have the wits and the brainy may be deprived of beauty.

If you were to pick one, would you go for the beautiful yet dull or would you choose the brainy but ugly? (tough question right??) But bear in mind that in deciding who we will choose as partners in life, let us not make beauty or brain alone as the sole basis of our verdict.Let us not be carried away by the A's in the school card nor the pair of beautiful dimples on one's face.
