Unit 18Beauty
内在美和外在美哪种才是真正的美呢？人们又是怎样的观点呢？
I personally believe that beauty isn't really in the eye of the beholder.I think beauty is within ourselves.What others see when they look at us is a projection of what we want them to see.
When you fill your thoughts with positive energy and inner beauty，you'd appreciate the things that are around you a lot more too.Even when you look at an inanimate object like a painting，or even a view of the ocean，it seems more beautiful to you because you see the beauty that overflows within you reflect in everything else around you.
If you feel beautiful，your own self belief and confidence brings out a glow of beauty that no outer beauty can compete with.But if you feel ugly，your inner beauty will reflect the same idea and project it on your outer beauty.If you truly feel beautiful on the inside，you'd never seem unappealing to anyone else.
Yes，it's true that some people may want a 36-24-36 body in their partner or never ending legs，but that's only a preference.Just like how some girls see wealth as an important criterion when it comes to dating a guy, it's all just a preference.And you really need to understand that from within.
