What is real beauty

It is human nature that all of woman and girls love beauty . It seems that everyone was born with a heart for beauty.
With the rise of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. A lot of  peoples spare no money or power on good-looking clothes as well as  trendy hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,allthese are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit; and study rather behavior, than virtue. But this holds not always: for Augustus Caesar, Titus Vespasianus, Philip le Belle of France, Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades of Athens, Ismael the Sophy of Persia, were all high and great spirits; and yet the most beautiful men of their times.  
In my view,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance ,but also neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. As we all learn that so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only gorgeous appearance to be mentioned, but to us human beings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: "A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. "
Here, I'd love  to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear all friends ,   You will learn what is real beauty .How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.
At the moment, I'm coming to true story. It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps. However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up. Every day she labored from morning till night. In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood. She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.
When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,"Oh,I love children and I like to have their company. "
Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit. She was loved dearly by her children. She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.
Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet attractive voice and very famous for singing the song."Devotion of Love". Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing "Devotion of Love",a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,"You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! "Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.
It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding. What a sharp contrast there is between the great lady and the selfish singer    So,to answer the question "What is real beauty?", I declare definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's heart of hearts and embodied in his actions and deeds,that is,the inner beauty!
With this page Perhaps you can't help wondering, "What makes that ordinary girls  so extraordinary?"  However you make it if you learn that And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit; and study rather behavior, than virtue. But this holds not always: for Augustus Caesar, Titus Vespasianus, Philip le Belle of France, Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades of Athens, Ismael the Sophy of Persia, were all high and great spirits; and yet the most beautiful men of their times.
Beauty Lies in the Heart and not in Looks! But Seldom People understand this .
