TRUE BEAUTY

This article was inspired by the sight of the most beautiful girl in America of 1933 on television. She is presently 78 years old, she looked so ugly that it was hard for me to believe that she was one time miss America.
With such sight, I came to a conclusion that true beauty is intrinsic rather than extrinsic. No matter how beautiful you are today physically, you will someday become so ugly.
And that is why I would rather spend money, energy, time, and resources building my inside than building my outside.
Paul of Tarsus said, “Physical exercise profits little...” Taking care of your body profits but a little. The main purpose of your body is to house the real you (which you cannot see) for the accomplishment of your purpose. Your body is not you just like your clothing is not you. The reason we need the body is for visibility.
I have seen so many ladies who are very beautiful physiologically but cannot speak good English. While I have seen some others who can speak good English but have nothing to offer intellectually. Or have you not seen heartbroken beautiful ladies?
If I am faced between marrying a girl who is physically beautiful but internally ugly and a girl who is physically ugly but internally beautiful. I will not think twice before choosing the later (But she will have both). Physical beauty fades but internal beauty lasts a life time. And this internal beauty I am talking about does not fall on people, it is not a gift. It is developed consciously by personal development.
So many people are beautiful, cute, and handsome outside but beasts inside- If you hear some of them talk, you will pray for the ground to open up and swallow you because they are either too shallow minded or they are talking virus.
People will always prefer to buy cloths than books- that’s exactly what we are talking about. The opportunity cost of that is success. Any time you put fun and material things ahead of intangible values that are delivered through knowledge; you have showed us that you value your outside more than your inside.
Guys be warned about marrying a lady solely because of her physique. Listen to the advice of Charles Spurgeon: “To marry a woman for her look is like eating a bird for its song, since you do not marry her to look at her face but to have her as companion and a help mate. Observe the formation of her mind as well as the features of her face.”

UNILIFE

Philosophy: “Every day is a class room, every experience a lesson and everybody we meet a teacher”- Dr Myles Munroe
Life is a school and we are students of this school called ‘University of life (unilife)’. You may not be a student of any school per say, but you are a student of life.
In the universities of the world you get schooling but in the University of Life you get concrete education. But it is one thing to pass through life and it is another thing to allow life pass through you. You may not have been to the four walls of a University, but you can learn from the spherical shape of the world.
The University of the World is limited but the University of Life is limitless. The University of the World is just for four years or more, but the University of Life starts from when you were born to when you die i.e. it starts from the womb and ends in the tomb.
In the University of Life there are no breaks except the one you give yourself but there are exams, but also the exams do not have time table- It comes up every day of your life. The exam of life is not written, it is most times scored based on your actions.
In the University of Life you have roommates but this time around the roommates are your fellow human beings. So you have to be patient and tolerant to cope with them. In the University of Life, your lectures are your experiences, your school is located everywhere and your Chancellor is God.
We have 6.5 billion students of Unilife, but it is a pity that not up to 2.5 billion students will graduate with first class or second class upper- More than 2 billion carry over’s. When you were born, you were admitted, when you die- You will be convocated. Your course of endeavor is your profession or career.
Life is a school, life is a lesson, life is an experience, and life is a journey. In life you learn, unlearn, and relearn! You cannot succeed if you fail to learn from the wisdom and experience of life that has been before you came. Life is the best teacher I have ever seen, but it’s also a pity that its students fail to pay attention to its unfailing knowledge and details. In life, there are two things you pay; attention and fees. It is better to pay attention and not pay fees than to pay fees and not pay attention. When you pay attention, you will be able to pay the fees.
Life is full of opportunities but you may call it problems. Life is full of Miracles but you may call it obstacles. Life is full of wisdom but you might call it foolishness. Life is full of experiences but you might call it challenges. Life is full of life! Life is a battle field- You have to fight your way to the top!
