Even though the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is true, that's not always the case in real life. When people first meet you, they look at your appearance and not at your brains. That's why beauty in a person matters and it or the lack of it affects many things in life. Beauty affects a person's success and wealth. An example of that is getting a job. Studies show that when a person comes in for a job interview, it takes an employer about 4 seconds to make a first impression of that person. As you can see, that impression is made upon the person's appearance and depending on that impression, the person either gets the job or doesn't. And it's not news that attractive people are better liked than ugly people. That shows that beauty does matter. If a person has beauty, then it's easier for him/her to get a job, making them successful, powerful and wealthy in life.

it is not always that beauty is key of success in life. beauty just take a little bit of role in success of people and at the different position. some time beauty is important but sometime it is not. in life intelligent is more important than beauty but it could not be success without beauty. on different job, different angle in life beauty can be important. for example, for become a model beauty is most important thing to create success. or to most of the other job take skill, beauty will be second after the intelligent. but beuty still important. beauty and intelligent are both important in life and it even create much more successful if it goes together.

In my opinion,beauty doesn't affect a persons' success,wealth,or power in life.First of all,in my native country Ukraine,there is a saying that says "Don't be born beautiful but be born happy."It is better to be intelligent and wise than to be physically attractive.I know a few people from my native country who were very beautiful,but their life was not successful.They got married and then they divorced but I don't know why.They are very poor people.I think everyone can be successful,and wealthy or has a good position independently of his or her good looks.Finally,if you want to be successful it depends on how you react to it and how you deal with it.

I do not believe that beauty can bring successes. Intelligence is more important that become wealthy and have access in life. However, it depends from work, place where you want to work. I know one lady, she was very beauty and very intelligent, but she was not chosen. They preferred a simple woman, and they gave her a very nice position. I think that not all people like beauty because if people are simple they are more accessible, and communicate with them much easier. Furthermore, there are many people who became very wealthy because they are beauty. They work like models, actresses, asters. They are beauty and they are very popular and very wealthy. Their beauty plays a big role in their work.

Does beauty affect a person’s success, wealth or power in life? Unfortunately, it does. Have you ever seen someone who is ugly on a billboard? I think beautiful people can get away with a lot more than just regular, homely people. Here is my thinking. Imagine two women, one is physically very attractive and other just an average person, with the same level of education and skills. They are both looking for success and wealthy future. Who has higher chances to get her goal? Of course the attractive one has more doors opened. This is our society stereotype but I think it is true. Sometime we underestimate the beauty by reason of our jealousy. But if there is a choice between beauty and intelligence I take intelligence over beauty. All that glitters is not gold. I have seen some unfortunate looking people who are greatly successful and I have seen beautiful people homeless on the street and selling their bodies on the corner.

Beauty to me is who a person is not how they look like, physical attractions can help in gating a good job but I don’t think it will help you keep it for long. In this world today I think people are judged to much based on how thy look or how thy make the company look not what thy do for the company, how thy contribute to the companies wall been. To my personal opinion its more impotent to be intelligent then to attractive physically. I know this one lady who doesn’t look that appealing but her hard work and persistence has gutting her from been just a house keeper to a JM in five years, verses people who look good make the hotel look really appealing to stay at because thy work up front and thy great you with a nice smile, its really nice to be greeted by a beautiful person, but if thy don’t know what thy are doing there it don’t help you much as the costumer. So like I was saying there are people who have been working there for more then 20 years in the same passion, and cant move on just with their good looks you need something much more valuable. People who look good do get the edge on the people who are just average, but who ever puts more effort in to what ever thy do will succeed in what ever thy try to do or put there minds to.

Yes it definitely does affect in some cases. Beautiful females or males are given more opportunities or more doors are open to them that others will never have, especially females. It is true and natural that the people are attracted someone’s physical appearance without knowing about their internal characters, and treat the good looking differently from others. But it doesn’t mean the ones good look will always be successful wealthy or powerful in life. For example in my country beauty is very necessary for some kind of jobs like: hotel receptionist in big hotels, flight attendant and fashion model. However other jobs need just skill or qualification. I knew a person who was my neighbor she became successful in modeling industry and she became a millionaire because she looks good. Even though it is good to be physically attractive I believe it is better to be intelligent.

In my opinion beauty does not effect a person's success. It may in certain cases, but not all. I think intelligence is more important for a person's success. For example, some secretarial jobs usually have beautiful women working as the secretary. These women are usually hired by men who just want a beautiful girl to work for them. However, many jobs like an construction or an engineer need people with experience and knowledge. For example, I have a friend who was hired because of his experience, and his intelligence. Because of this he did well at his job, and was very successful. His brother also passed the interview, but it wasn't based on his experience, but on his looks. His brother did not do well at the job, and didn't have much success. When you compare these two, one can see that the brothers were both hired equally, but in the end the one with better looks did not being as successful as his brother who got hired based on his experience and knowledge.

In my opinion, I think beauty could affect a person’s success. I have seen some people who use their beauty to get something that they want. In any cases, I believe that it can bring them more opportunity more than the others. I will tell you about one person that I know very well. She is the good sample in this case that I could think of. She was my college friend. She was the most beautiful student in the class, but she wasn’t the smartest one. She almost failed the classes so often. The summer of 1994, she went to the Honda super model contest, but she didn’t win. Because of her intelligent wasn’t good enough to make the jades felt like she could bright more customers to the business. However, one of the Jude who was a good looking gentleman and a rich man liked her and interested in her. Later that year they got married. In 1997, she used her husband’s money to open the business, weight control. The title on her hiring advertisement was” If you think that you are beautiful, please come to be our team.” The day of interview I went to help her. Actually, helping it was one thing that I wanted to do, but the other thing was I wanted to see how the interview would go. She divided her interview with in two sections. First section was a beauty test. The second was an individuality test. I was with her in the interview room. That day it was the worst day in my life. All the women who came in that day made me felt like I was the angriest woman in the world. I wanted to put my face under the ground immediately when they step in the room. There were about thirty ladies came that day. Fifteen people were passed the beauty test, but they were only eight ladies who passed the last test, personal test. Let me tell you this interview was interesting because the interviewer, my friend, didn’t ask any question about nutrition, how to eat or what to eat to make people lose weight. I could not see how these people who my friend was hiring would be her good employees and would make her succee in this business. In my mind I had so many questions to ask her such as, why didn’t you hire someone who educated and was able to tell your customers what to do to watch their weight. When the day was over I went to talk to my friend and asked her” What was your idea that make you hired people who never went to school and didn’t know anything about nutrition to be your dietarian and the counselor at the weight control clinic? “ She looked at me and said” Because I believed that people who uneducated can be educate if I send them to take an nutrition class .That problem could be fixed and changed ,but the people who were not born beauty couldn’t be fixed. At the year went by her message had proved. Her business is going well. She is a successful weight control business lady who never knows anything about nutrition.

Sometimes we ask ourselves why some people achieve success and receive what they want so easily? I think that it because they look very beautifully or they are artful and rich; certainly it does not mean that they are silly. Never there was a secret that the world the beauty operates. Beautiful people are inclined to highly appreciate more and the abilities, and it helps them to achieve with a life of the big success than to the person with not so beautiful appearance. The majority of celebrities, actors of a film and in advertising we see only beautiful appearance of people. Also some employers subconsciously prefer external, instead of internal beauty of the person. Generally I consider that the person should be inside beautiful, instead of outside, because appearance can be sometimes deceptive. I consider that the intelligence of the person is stronger than effect of beauty.

When good looking people try to accomplish something, they prefer to stake on the external beauty. Instead if htis, custom people tend to develod their nature and skills. Though we like to be in the presence of attractive person, usually we keed relationships only with people who have an interesting character. Regardless that everyone says that the first impression we remember the most, we should understand that it can deceive us. We have to check everyone who wants to be liked by everybody orwho would like to get something from us. People can't be always unpredictable. It's very easy to break a spell of "beautiful person". Pretence is not able to stay for a long time. So if you want to get success or power, stake on internal beauty! you will never regret that! In conclusion I want to cite one poet's phrase, you can love a beautiful woman, it's possible to love a smurt woman, and you are not able do not fall in love with a woman who is attractive inside and outside.

Yes,In my opinion if you want to be better you have to be better at everything. Now a days people worry about their phisical appearence so they turn to plastic surgery, there are programs on how to loose weight, alot of cometics sold It all goes to show that it affects a persons success and wealth. To be a entertainer on most television shows you need talent and good looks. Watching a good looking person is always good, good to be in there presence, good to communicate with them. For example in order to be a good paying model you need the beauty.A lot of times a president might be choosen based on his or her good looks. In my personal experience i found that through being beautiful, i was able to get a better job in my home country. When I know that i look good, i feel good as well meaning that i can get more stuff done. God created everyone unique in his or her unique way, but inner beauty is far more important then outer. People have to also consintrate on their inner beauty. Then only can a person become induidaly special in his or her own way. So if you want to be better you have to work at it.

I have my own opinion,about this topic, beauty has nothing to to with professional style or appearance. I think Sometimes we should separate those two things, I realize that, all is not gold that glitters. People who has wealth and sleep on the money not always are happy. Simple poor person may be the happiest in the world. Attractive people do have a effect, advantages and luck, but I would say only temporary.Then we do knot see their beauty.I had en experience be hired by my appearance, but I have always elegant and stylish Lady. Whatever I go, present, visit or meet someone I prefer to very professional, witch helps me in my career.

In my opinion, beauty does affect success. One common example is that employers always look into how employees dress during interview. Their look is one important fact to show their attitude. Also, it shows people’s profession, reliability, and personality. Another example, companies often find good looking people for commercial promotion. These people often receive more than ten thousands of dollars for being on the picture. At the same time, consumers are more likely to pay attention to these promotions and so on they are more likely to buy the products. Therefore, we can conclude that beauty does affect success.

Beauty has a big influence on our life. However, a person may also be targeted for harassment because of their beauty. There are two sides of beauty; it can make problem for people, or it help people. In my native country beauty play important rules. People with physical beauty are more common than intelligent. In my opinion it’s right, but not in all spheres of life. I have one example when beauty is not always a key of success in our life. One of my friends got married with beautiful girl. She was beautiful at all, with nice body, pretty face, and curly hair. When she was young, she won beauty contest in her school. They have since divorced reason of not intelligence his wife. She was beautiful, but not an intelligent. I think that, intelligence play a big rule than physical beauty. In other words, to be successful it doesn’t mean to be physical beauty.

What make people successful? beauty or personality. If it would be possible to have both, why not? But if I were to choose between the two I would rather have personality than beauty. In my opinion inner beauty is more important than outer appearance for three reasons: First good personality can make a person beautiful, you may look only beautiful for beauty but soon will be looking ugly without brain, but brain will bring out inner beauty and change people's perspective toward you.

This topic is very interesting, because it is true. Sometimes the person's beauty is very important and means something. I like to talk to the person who is beauty, attractive, and nice. But, I prefer to talk to intelegent, wise, and responsible people. In my native country people often say: "We welcome people by looking at them, but see them off by their brain and abilities". Of course, it is very important how we look, but the person must be beauty inside too. Unfortunately, people's looking sometimes is deceptive. Being attractive, beauty can bring a person success, some power in life or wealth. Some positions in jobs, such as model, TV leading, and waiters, can requare people's beauty. Once, I heard a conversation between two people. It were a man and a woman. The woman looked beautiful and was very attractive. The man said:" I don't believe that you take just these level of English classes, you look like it isn't true. I think, your level is different, because you look different." Can you imagen what was her answer? She said: "Everybody says like you, everybody believes that my level of education, life, and goals must be higher than they are at that moment. I know why they say like this, because of my beauty. Is it true?" And the man replied: "Yes, it is true, that's why." So, very often person's beauty affect his or her success, wearth or power in life.

In my personal opinion beauty does affect a person’s success, wealth, and power in life. It is better to be physically attractive and intelligent. For example, actors have to be either both or at least intelligent to be in movie business. Models have to be both to be in that business. It is simple if you go to an interview the person interviewing you will look at both: first at the way you look and then at your intelligence. I don’t know an actual person who became successful because of those two qualities, but I assume that physical appearance and intelligence play huge role in success in life. If I was hiring people to work for me I would defiantly try to look at both. I know I would be more open to people who are physically attractive for sure. It is just who people are. We tend to be attracted to those who look better and are intelligent. However, I have to agree that a lot of times even if person is less attractive he or she has to try harder or to show that he or she is more intelligent then someone else to succeed.

In my country there is a quote that says “meet by clothes escort by mind”. And that’s true. I don’t any people successful people, just because they looked wonderful. It is good to look wonderful, it is very important, but it is not the main thing. The main thing is knowledge.

A lot of people think that the beauty is very significant part I of life, and believe that it might play a big role to get a job. However everybody especially women want to be beautiful. I have seen a lot of people how they are beautiful, attractive or not attractive and their lives independence on their looks. Some people may say “Yes, beautiful is very important especially to get a job!” I agree but some companies request it. I think the most important beauty is that inside us. Some people may be beautiful but their soul isn’t beautiful it push away from them. In addition, the internal person has to be beautiful, even though that person isn’t attractive. A long time ago I heard one story. One woman was in the hospital and then she regains consciousness while nurse come close to her. Nurse was very beautiful. Then patient asked her for a glass of water that nurse said “What, you can take it by yourself.” In two days there was other nurse she wasn’t even attractive but she helped that woman and took care of her all the time. So, that patient didn’t see beautiful nurse as a beautiful because of her inwardness, but other unattractive to her very beautiful. I think the most important in our lives is our valuable of our souls. Independently, people care of their appearances but had better if they will care of their intelligence. I don’t say that don’t care of your face, figure or don’t use make up, I just stay on important things that influence on our families and environment.

being physically on shape or pretty can affect person's success in some criteria in life but not in everything.For example, advertisement is one of those jobs that needs beautiful and on shape people. In TV commercials most of people are on shape and pretty because, sicalogically beauty can bring more customer to the business. Even though, there are different type of jobs that requares intelligent people instead of being beauty. Politics and schools are the common examples. Personally I don't know any one in my life who became wealthy or has a good position because of his or her good looks. In my opinion, being success full in life it depends on a person. It depends on how much effort a person spend on his or her life to become success full.

In my opinion, it definitely affects a person’s success therefore also affects wealth or power in their life. But this option is not a requirement; it is rather sufficient condition. In other words, beauty is just a “plus alpha”. People can get a success or riches without beauty and beauty only can make it a little bit easier. Physical beauty doesn’t go forever so their attractiveness will not last forever.

I think the beauty is not important in a person but all the women want to look nice. Most than how you look outside is better to see how you are inside, your feeling, intelligent, education and moral values. I think the actress have to look nice but sometimes exaggerated they made surgeries when don’t need it and some times paid with theirs lives.

I think it does matter how you look and how smart you are. One of my friens was trying to get a job at the bank but she was not really cute or good looking girl. So she was applying a lot of times and she had interviews with owners of those banks. She never got hired because they just didn't want a girl like her working at their bank. And there is enother girl I know. She is a good looking girl and she's smart and she is just perfect. She was applying for the same bank and geuss what? She got hired right away because she was a good looking blond girl. So what I think is that looks and how smart you are it does effect in some cases. People always want someone cute and good looking working for them. Good looking people always get more attention.
