    Sometimes people are beautiful!

    "Sometimes people are beautiful
    Not in looks.
    Not in what they say.
    Just in what they are." - Markus Zusak

    This quote attracted me and very true in letter and spirit. Some people look very simple, polite in nature and behave in a dignified way. Speaking irrespective of gender, such people draw attention and look very beautiful. This is my observation on the above quote by Markus. How do you analyze it?

    That is true. This is not about the beauty that we see with our eyes. But it talks about the beauty that we feel when we observe the behaviour of a person.
    There was a rich man in our native place. He was lean and short. But he was very kind. I never saw him talking loudly and harshly. He never ate without offering food to another person by his side. He helped a lot to poor students for their education. They are all in very good positions today. Whenever I saw him I used to feel that he was above normal human beings. He looked beautiful always to me.
    Such people are beautiful at heart. Physical beauty is a gift of God. But we can look beautiful with our behaviour and conduct with other people. Not shouting at others, helping people when they are in need, and behaving politely will add value to our faces and make us appear beautiful to others. We never feel happy even though we see a beautiful person if his behaviour is not as we expect.

    A nice observation and a nice post by the author. In my life I have interacted with a large number of people at various platforms and during social meets but there are only a few who looked beautiful by their decent and polite behaviour. It is obvious that we get attracted to such people. They have got very rare qualities. A smiling face and a respectful attitude to everyone, down to the earth approach, talking but listening also to others, not showing off their levels, and many more such traits that distinguish them from the lot.
    When I was doing my UG course then we had one professor who belonged to that category. He was very good in teaching and we always looked to him for resolving our queries. He helped everyone with a smiling face. He was writing a text book on Mathematics in Hindi language and at that time there was no computer, printer, or internet sort of things and everything was to be done manually by hand writing or using a type machine. One day in the class he asked who can help him in writing the script of the textbook in clean and clear Hindi. To my surprise 4-5 students (including me) raised their hands to do that and he felt so happy about it.
    He gave the work to all of us and we completed it in time and in a function where his book was introduced he called us all and praised us and thanked us in front of the college principal and other dignitaries.
    I still remember his beautiful behaviour towards students and colleagues.
    Knowledge is power.

    I have always liked people for their behaviour and not for the appearances. I hate people who consider the physical appearance to judge people. Visual elements like colour of the skin, body shape, hair etc are the secondary consideration for me to like a person. Our inner beauty reflects in our soul. It must be noted that the physical appearance of one's face and body are because of genes inherited by his/her parents,there is no real contribution of a person, but what contributes is her/his behaviour with others. Personality goes a long way. Your character can even change people's perceptions of how good looking you are.

    We we die people remember our character and personality not our beauty. I don't know why people give importance to the external beauty. So the conclusion is you don't need to good in appearance but should be good by heart which will be appreciated by most of the people in the society.

    When we meet a person for the first time then initially we get impressed with his or her dress, and physical appearance. But when we talk and come in contact then only we come to know the actual behaviour of the person and then only make an opinion about it.
    A person will appear beautiful only when his behaviour is polite and respectful.
    If a person is rich, he does not share his money with others. But a well behaved person shares happiness and positivity everywhere. So, who is more beautiful? I consider a well behaved person as an asset for the society. A source of positive energy for all of us.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    I will speak the truth.

    When I meet a person of my own sex, I give importance to his attitude, nature and other abstract qualities.

    But when I meet a person of the opposite sex, I give importance to physical attributes like beauty, dress, gait and similar other things.

    There are people in society offering their level best to others and the best part is they are good listeners of your problems. In that way, you may call such people a real gem.
    I have come across such people though their number is not large, still there is the existence of such people.
    I am discussing a fine gentleman known as a miser in my village because he was in the habit of thinking twice before purchasing anything. He often invited the annoyance of his family - members but to the surprise of the villagers, he denoted a whopping amount of Rs Four Lakh in the year 1964 to establish a Polytechnic in his village for the welfare of the student community.
    From time to time, he offered money to the students In their needs. Though he is not alive his noble quality cannot be forgotten so easily.

    The quote by author is presently useful to many. We are learning at least one thing from others through their action or talking.
    I used to talk with the persons normally travelling with me either in train or city bus.
    We should never offer our advice or help to any one unless asked by them - is I learnt from a co passenger one day, who was made friend of mine on that day only, later I came to know that he is an advocate in High court.
    Yes people are beautiful as they are good to their views and the question is whether their views are applicable or acceptable by us. If acceptable then they are guide to us.

    Appointment or disappointment, Partha must speak the truth. Many others follow the same principle but never admit it openly.

    Partha openly admits, 'and that has made all the difference' (the last line of The Road not Taken by Robert Frost).

    I am amazed at how the quote by the author perfectly fits with the spotlight on the young, bright Prachi Nigam, the class X 2024 topper from Sitapur in Utter Pradesh who scored 98.50%. Instead of her achievement, her look has been going viral through social media. However, she has a beautiful soul with incredible strength and is confident to get into IIT cracking JEE.

    Yes!! Sometimes people are beautiful, not in looks, not in what they say, just in what they are. It is this girl's dignity that matters while going through the hardships that she comes across.

    Hats off to this brilliant girl and I wish her success in achieving her goal of becoming an IITian.

    If we have that patience and balance and cultivated a positive attitude, then we will find something attractive and beautiful in every person.

    But generally we do not get or do not spend sufficient time in interacting with most people we meet in our life. Even with people stay around us and work with us , we would not have bothered to go deep and take them into confidence o view them in different perspective. So we would be stuck up with some stereotype evaluation, judgment, perception and prejudice, We are either swayed by opinions of others or our own wrong perceptions rather than an unbiased open attitude.
    Hence instead of seeing beauty in people we become inert to them, or have some pre-conceived notion and approach.

    Bhavani, hats off to you, for coming with a very recent and relevant case to hit the nail on its head.

    There may be and are many many similar examples in real life.

    Probably that is why it is said in the proverb "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or as Shakespeare said "Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye."
