This is a tricky question because
there are a few different elements to the first statement and then there are
two separate questions. Here is how I tried to answer it:
Physical appearance may play an important role in many spheres
of life: in the person’s success in school, in relationships with people, in
the choice of a career path.
Say whether you agree or disagree with it, and if you see it as a positive or negative factor.
Say whether you agree or disagree with it, and if you see it as a positive or negative factor.
Answer
It is argued that the way a person
looks has a crucial role in how successful they are in education, their job and
even their personal life. This essay totally disagrees with that notion because
most people achieve success through hard work and talent and it will also argue
that thinking that outward appearance is a determining success factor is a very
negative thing.
The most successful people in the
modern world got there because of their drive, determination, intellect and raw
talent. That is to say that it is what is inside that counts, not how one
looks, and these inner traits are much more important than how attractive a
person is. Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are some
of the most successful people, in all aspects of their lives, but none of them
reached the top because they were well groomed, know much about fashion or were
born with striking good looks.
Believing that it is the outside,
rather than the inside, that counts is a very dangerous idea because it often
leads to a very vacuous and shallow person. That means that if you believe that
beauty is the most important thing, you will often have nothing to show inside
and also judge other people on their looks, rather than their talents. For
example, my son is very handsome, but I discourage people from telling him that
because I do not want him to grow up thinking that being good looking is more
important than hard work or developing his intellect and morals.
In conclusion, how a person looks to
others has no bearing on their success, in comparison to their character and to
think otherwise is a huge drawback for a person because relying on your looks
will only get a person so far in life, but never to the top.
