Beauty fades

I once read an article, a nice heartwarming story about a girl, who's not so good in her studies. She's an average, no matter what lessons are taught, she's never go higher than B+.
B+ is good, but still it's not straight A!
Even her parents wonder why. And if there ever comes a day when their daughter got an A, one single A, well, they will throw a party to celebrate that.
But that day isn't coming.
And they gave up.
Once, they asked their daughter, what does she wants herself to be in the future.
They expect an extraordinary answer from her, but again, the unexpected happened.
"Well, I want to get married, and be a loving wife and caring mother, and maybe I want to be a preschool teacher,"
The parents stood in silent.
And at this point I think, o my, she's so ordinary! But the story isn't over, you have to take a look on the other side.
One day, the parents got a call from her high school teacher.
The teacher said that this girl, from time to time is an average student. She can't go higher, and even if she tried, the results is still B+.
Well that's bad, the parents thought.
But,
yes, there is a but that changes this whole average and ordinary girl.
"I once asked each one of the student in this class, if you have to pick one of your classmate, who would you pick? And amazingly, almost everybody chose your daughter. And there's another question, why would you choose that person? The answers are outstanding. They say that she's kind, and cheerful, she helps without thinking of herself. She smiles a lot, and on, and on,"
The parents then going home with a lot of thought in their head.
What does a report card full of straight A mean, if she's not an excellent person in life?
It's not how good you sing, how great your dancing is, how fluent you are in English, Chinese, or whatever.
How you react to things determines mostly who you are.
So if one day you become great, please remember who you were before this.
What is a pretty face without a pretty heart?
Who do you want to be with? A beautiful lady that is full of anger and self-pity, or an average girl who listen to your greatest despair and face them with you?
You choose.
Beauty fades, character remains.
