YOUR LOOKS AND SUCCESS
Friends, how is human value determined in our society? You are right. It is often determined on the basis of looks and performance. For instance, if two people are interviewed for a job, the one that has the better appearance will usually get the job. Everyone knows that a person on trial in the courtroom will have a better chance with the judge and jury if he/she is clean and well-dressed. Better-dressed children in school often get better treatment than the poorly dressed. So what are the less attractive people to do? First, let’s not kid ourselves. This prejudice in favour of good looks probably will never change. Yet, something can change that can make a world of difference. And what I’m referring to right now, is that you can change they way you view yourself. This will also change the way most others view you. So you begin by strengthening your own view of yourself. In 1883 Sir Hugh Galton did a study to find out what makes a face pretty and makes a face ugly. He used many composite drawings, placing on top of the other, trying o find the answer. His conclusion was that a pretty face has ordinary lines while an ugly one has, well, a few surprises. Since we all love surprises, when you look in the mirror, you perhaps could cry, “Surprise! Surprise!” Katherine Hepburn was quoted in a recent interview as saying that “plain women know more about men that beautiful ones do.” Isn’t that reassuring, especially coming from someone like Katherine Hepburn. Could it be that this would work the same way with “plain” men? I like the way Leo Buscaglia said it: “Always remember that some of you are created ravishingly beautiful. And some of you are ravishingly plain.” Friends, the machine-age offer us much in terms of time-saving and efficiency. But it tends to rob us of the personal touch. Who will assure us that we are someone special? Not the computer. Not the organization, factory or company where we sometimes feel we are little more than interchangeable parts in a big machine. In fact, in a time when we seem to be reduced to numbers on a computer, many people are crying out for someone to recognize them as persons. Perhaps, even as you’re reading what I’ve just written, you’re saying to yourself “that’s just how I feel and I’d like some assurance that my life counts for something.” Well, if that is how you’re feeling, I’d like to remind you that you really are someone special and I’d like to send you a FREE booklet that says just that. To receive your copy of “You Are Someone Special” just write to me at P.O. Box 1540, Albany WA 6331. If you prefer, you can phone/fax me on (08) 98 418 418.
