Beauty or brains?

I guess majority will say brains cause knowledge and all but my friend said...you can learn, but you can't do anything if you're ugly. Well except cosmetic surgeries (nothing against that). Ha

You can't make a dumb person smart. They're just dumb. Nothing wrong with that. At least an ugly person can get plastic surgery. But no amount of learning will help a person that's dumb.

@MartinTheFirst I know what you said. You said that people can become smart through educating themselves and practicing willpower. I said that can be true if your definition of "smart" involved education and willpower. Graduating high school is just one form that a person can succeed using education and willpower.

"Smart" can be something you have from birth, according to some people. From what I've read, a significant part of our intelligence comes from our parents. Of course, there are some environmental factors that come into play as well. For example, nutrition, a good place to live, the country you are in, etc. can all play a role in how well we perform. But if you don't have a lot to work with since birth, then it is unlikely that you'll get far. I think that education and will-power have more to do with a success than actual intelligence.
