Beauty versus Intelligence
Imagine one day you were facing god, HE gives you two choices of lives. The first choice is, you will be born to be a beautiful person. Second is, you will be born to be an intelligent person. Unfortunately, you can't have both. (>.< too bad)
Many would choose the later one because they say beauty doesn't last.
What if god says "You can have a lasting beauty".
What do you say? Beauty or Intelligence?

Since I see some lack of science here, I'll be the one to say intelligence is NOT something you're born with: it's demonstrated that our different brains cause us not to be born with the same intelligence level.
On the other hand, we are born with some beauty but we can also make ourslves some – not talking about make-ups, I mean beauty is a question of self-care, non-somking :P... and a behave too!
So, if God said me I couldn't have both, this meant I could be intelligent and not beautiful (that isn't necessarely ugly), or beautiful and not intelligent (that isn't necessarely stupid); now I'm pretty ugly (word corner:)) and very intelligent, that is, I'm intelligent enough to appreciate my own particular face and – what's most important – to have some inner beauty (the one Froi was talking about). And I'm happy.
Maybe I should try the other way to be, try something new; but I'm so proud and stubborn! I'd say: it's ok, God, let me be as intelligent as you can and as ugly as you need. :)

on my perception id go for intelligence.. beauty is not always based on how you look.. there is a deeper meaning behind the word beauty..

Beauty can only get you so far but intelligence can open the world up to you.

Someone said: "intelligence can be learnt", but I think it's not true, not anyone can be intelligent, not all the people are born with this capacity, it's true that we learn a lot from life but depends on how much can our brain to absorb. And about beauty- you can earn money from this but you still need brain to spend them. Beauty can last forever only if you have someone beside you to assure you about this. I prefer intelligence, because only intelligent people can see "the beauty" in everything.
