Smart but Not Pretty or Beautiful but Dummy

Beauty, Brain, and Behavior. Those are slogan of beauty contest, such as Miss Universe, Miss World, Putri Indonesia, and Miss Indonesia. Wow, how lucky does the girl who can pass all of those criteria. But in the real life, there are not many girls can be perfect like that. Some might be gifted pretty face and body; some might be not. Some girls are smart and clever; some are not. Or maybe, some girls are beautiful and smart but they badly behaved. See..no body perfect!!

These are true evidence of God’s power, Allah SWT created billions people in a very fair way. You have an extra point at one thing, and you also have a minus point at the other one. The winners of Miss Universe or Putri Indonesia, they are tall, sexy, pretty, smart, and kind hearted. Is it correct? Or is it just an image created by media??

As we know that media has a great power to affect public opinion. Let’s pick Britney Spears as an example. In her debut, Britney was granted many praise from media. Media called her as a pretty, talented, sexy, sweet, and good girl. But then, since Britney divorced with Kevin, she lost right to taking care of her sons. After that, media kept their eyes carefully on her. Whenever Britney did something, the next day you can found the complete gossip bout that everywhere, at television, radio, newspaper, magazine, and else. The worst was Britney considered to be crazy…wufff. You can say, Media gave her a bad name.

So, I’m ensuring my self that I don’t need to be afraid for being my self. I’m not beautiful but I’m pretty enough; I’m not genius but I’m smart enough and I’m willing to learn. The most important that I’m not an angel but I’m not an evil too, I do what I thinks is right and I won’t hurt other peoples. So, this is me..if someone ask me to pick an option “What do u want to be, Smart but Not Pretty or Beautiful but Dummy?”. I’ll definitely choose the first one, cause time will reduce your beauty but not your brain. When you are getting older, you can’t avoid wrinkles and of course, the young women seems prettier than you. But if you fill your self with knowledge, it can be greater time by time and can exist forever (Sarah, 25/3).
