Don't try to be beautiful, just be yourself. For people who worry about such things -- what others think of them and what society wants of them -- life goes by in a flash before they realize they've spent none of their own time for themselves. They live as if they've all the time in the world, letting everyone take as much of it from them as they want, and only really begin to live for themselves in their retirement, when they are too old to enjoy life as they could have in youth. They find themselves wishing they could have had more time to live, wishing life were longer than what nature has given to us. What they fail to realize is that the time allotted to us by nature is more than enough. Don't waste your time living for everyone else : live for yourself.
Life is long if you know how to use it.
