Susan Boyle’ notable performance in “Britain’s Got Talent” has sparked a debate about how it feels to be judged by your looks and what role appearances play in our society. It is true that even in this twenty-first century a lot depends on how you look and how much success you will achieve in your life on the basis of your looks.

A lot has been written on the virtues of having a loving heart, cheerful disposition but when it comes to reality, people give too much undue importance to looks. Agreed that being presentable will help you cast that significant first impression but beauty should not make you arrogant and dismissive of others. As they say, “Beauty fades, but a good heart will endure forever”.
