Ladies and GentlemenKahlil Gibran (*pause) A world famous writer, poet and artists used to say (*pause*)Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart

The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining. As Salam, and a very pleasant morning I bid to all the teachers as well as my lovely folks.

Beauty. (*pause*)

What is the definition of beauty?What really defines beauty?Is being beautiful meant to be someone who wins the title of miss world?Is being beautiful described as one who looks hunky, muscular, tall with the long lengs?Or is being beautiful referred to the idea of being kind and generous?(*pause*)

Ladies and Gentlemen:The concept of beauty is undeniably subjective. There is no clear cut on its definition.

In my humble opinion, beauty could be partly defined as confidence.As theres an English saying The most beautiful and sexy about woman is being confident

Many people in the celebrity world view beauty as ones physical appearance.Well, they are not wrong: there is physical beauty, however, people fail to realize about inner beauty.Confidence has been shown in many makeover foreign shows such asTen Years YoungerorMake Me a Supermodelto make peoples physical and inner beauty increase dramatically.Confidence allows self-esteem to heighten, and grants the person more positive thinking in their view of life.Confidence in oneself is needed to reveal the true beauty in every person. Having said that, the perception of beauty is immensely broad. As mentioned earlier, there are many ideas about beauty.In Africa for instance, there are certain ethnic groups strongly believe having rings to elongate their neck is beautiful.Also, in another example, bound feet in China are a well-known perspective of beauty.These are merely several ancient traditions of physical attractiveness; seeing inner beauty is another way to view beauty.

In todays current context, people are beginning to believe that confidence and beauty are interlinked.In search of evidence to support this argument, When you have confidence in yourself you tend to dress with the clothes that fit you the best..... That looks good on them. They take care of themselves...On top of that, I smile a lot more because I'm happy with myself. Smiles are always attractive.When they can see that amount of self respect it makes everyone around you feel good and when that happens beauty radiates from everyone. (answers.yahoo.com: How are beauty and confidence interlinked?)

This is one case on how beauty and confidence are connected.However, dressing as yourself, and being happy and proud of who you are, is another sign of confidence that increases external and internal beauty.Other people, especially friends nearby, will notice others happiness and confidence, which will make them more attractive.Subjective and objective beauty is vital, and when one feels positive and is grateful for their attractive qualities, they will be more confident, and their true beauty will be shown. Beauty is confidence.Some people fail to realize this; however, the moral that confidence and beauty are connected is beginning to spread.Confidence will increase self-esteem, happiness, and pride in oneself, and the true beauty of the person will soon be revealed.

With that, I thank you.
