looks or ideas

Today’s prompt is to discuss the question, “looks or ideas?” 

It’s asking whether looks are important or the ideas you have is important.

Personally, I believe that ideas are much more important than looks in society.  Some people say that looks are much more important and that without looks, one can’t succeed in society.  I think this argument is as absurd as it can be.  We can see this by comparing.  If I compare a society with all ugly smart people with a society with all handsome and pretty people that are dumb.  The ugly society is highly intellectual and has everything that is needed.  On the other hand, the “looks” society has all the possible good looking people.  But they don’t have any clue on how to run a country and how to keep things in order.  Which society would you choose?  I would most definitely choose the “ideas” society because I don’t want to be in a society that is in chaos with murders everywhere and etc. 

People can’t succeed in life with just looks.  Looks is a very minor thing in life, although it looks important.  Just with looks, there is nothing possible.  One might say that a good looking person might be able to succeed as an actor or a model but they can’t with JUST looks.  They need “ideas”, motivation, effort, talent, and etc. to succeed in anything.

Looks don’t bring anything.  People argue against this saying that looks bring affection but I strongly disagree.  I once thought that looks do bring affection and love but I was wrong.  It is very easy to mistake this because looks seem to bring affection, but it’s actually not the looks but the personality or things about the person.  Even if looks sometimes do bring affection, that affection is not the real affection.  For example, the prettiest girl comes to our class and says that she is the new student.  Every boy would feel affection towards her right after seeing her.  This “affection” is not real.  If that girl had a bad personality or bad manners and was mean to everyone, there would be no affection towards her from anybody.  This proves that even the most beautiful girl in the world might not receive affection because looks are just what is on the outside when it is the inside that truly matters.

                 On the other hand, people with not so great looks but with great ideas receive lots of love.  A great example of this is Bill Gates.  He is one of the richest men in the whole world.  He achieved this with ideas, not looks.  Honestly Bill Gates isn’t the most handsome person, and I believe that everyone will agree.  Even though he doesn’t have the looks, he is one of the most successful person is the world.  When someone asks me who the most successful person in the world is, I’ll answer Bill Gates.  He had the ideas of creating a complex system of the computer and now, it is the mostly used system in computers today.  He is very successful.  He also gives it to charity which makes him more a hero.

                As you can see, looks do not determine success, it is the ideas.
