-Unique and beautiful.
When Lv Yan just won the runner-up in the French model contest, many people jumped with anger. With this girl with round face, freckles and thick lips? -Now, everyone recognizes Lv Yan's unique understanding and expressive power of fashion.
Devon Aoki, a supermodel who often appears in fashion magazines, is only1.68m tall, with a flat face like a rice spoon and upturned lips. This hybrid has become the product spokesperson of Lancome and Chanel with its unique oriental face. The fame of Eric Vic, a new model from Sudan, is even more maddening. She is as black as charcoal, with a big nose, thick lips and "quasi-bald". Vic was taken away by a "talent scout" when he fled to England at the age of 14, and sold in a "flea market". Since then, she has become a big hit. According to the traditional view, she is incomparable ugly, but in the crowd, she shines brightly.
The success of these famous models has sharply questioned the traditional definition of beauty. People are beginning to like and accept different styles, which is a great thing. More and more beautiful women who do not conform to the traditional aesthetics are presented under the excavation of the new concept of beauty hunting, and their youth and self-confidence are swept away under the new concept: their characteristics are recognized and affirmed.
The origin of Stanford University
-Don't judge a book by its cover.
Many years ago, the president of Harvard paid a high price for a wrong judgment.
An old couple, a woman wearing a faded striped cotton-padded jacket and her husband wearing a cheap cloth, came directly to visit the president of Harvard.
Mr. Wang said, "We want to see the headmaster."
The secretary said politely, "He is busy all day!" "
The lady replied, "Never mind, we can wait."
They have been waiting there.
The secretary had to inform the headmaster: "Just say a few words and send him away."
The headmaster agreed impatiently.
The headmaster hardly listens to the couple.
The lady told him, "Our son likes his happy life at Harvard. But last year, he died in an accident. My husband and I want to leave a memorial for him on campus. "
The headmaster was unmoved, but found it ridiculous. He said gruffly, "madam, we can't build a statue for everyone who went to Harvard and died." If we do this, our campus will look like a graveyard. "
The lady said, "No, we are not going to set up a statue. We want to donate a building to Harvard. "
The headmaster carefully looked at the striped cotton coat and the cheap thick suit, and then gasped, "do you know how much it costs to build a building?" The buildings in our school exceed $7.5 million. "
At this time, the lady was silent. The headmaster is glad that he can finally send them away.
The lady turned to her husband and said, "It only takes 7.5 million to build a building? Then why don't we build a university to commemorate our son? "
In this way, the Stanford couple left Harvard and went to California to establish Stanford University in memory of their son.

It happened that Xu Yun's close friends Guan Ju and Huan Fan came to congratulate him. When the bride learned about this, she said to the maid, "Don't worry, Huan Fan will definitely persuade him to come in." Sure enough, Huan Fan said to Xu Yunfeng, "Since the Ruans married the ugly girl to you, they must have their reasons. You should think carefully and go in. "
Xu Yun reluctantly entered the new house, face to face with the bride, and was about to turn around and go out. The bride grabbed his skirt and wouldn't let him leave. Xu Yun said: "Women should have women's virtue, women's words, women's appearance and women's merits. Which of these four virtues do you possess? " The bride replied, "As a bride, I just lack something to look at." What kind of good qualities do you have as a sensible husband? "Xu Yun said," all are available. Ruan asked again, "Of all the virtues, virtue is the first." . You like women and don't value virtue. How can you say you have it all? "Xu Yun was very ashamed and realized his mistake. From then on, the husband and wife respected each other and loved each other forever.

She goes to greet him every morning and evening, and tries her best to be filial like an ordinary daughter-in-law. As usual, she advised Li Shimin to treat every concubine fairly, so the atmosphere of the whole harem was very harmonious, and Emperor Taizong could concentrate on the military without interference from the right and wrong of the harem. Although the eldest grandson was born in a noble family, she was an imperial concubine, but she always followed a frugal and simple lifestyle, carried forward the simple fashion in the harem, and set an example for the implementation of the policy of governing the country by Emperor Taizong.

" Tang Taizong was puzzled and asked in surprise, "Why are you so cautious?" The eldest grandson replied solemnly, "I heard that only a wise monarch can have a direct minister, and Wei Zhi is a typical direct minister. This shows that your majesty is a wise monarch, so I want to congratulate your majesty. " After listening to this, Emperor Taizong felt that what the Queen said was very reasonable, so he was no longer angry, and Wei Zhi was able to keep his position and life.

The story of Lincoln
Success has nothing to do with beauty and ugliness.
Lincoln is so ugly that even pedestrians walking in the street have to look back at him. He never pays attention to dressing up: his narrow black trousers, umbrella-shaped coat and narrow top hat seem to deliberately set off his slender figure. His walking posture is ugly, and it's even more ugly when he shakes his hands.
Lincoln was born in a small place. Until his death, even when he became president, his behavior remained humble and vulgar. He still doesn't wear a coat to open the door, still wears gloves to the opera house, always tells inappropriate jokes, often suddenly becomes depressed and remains silent in public. No matter where-in court, in the pulpit, in congress, in the peasant association, and even in his own home-he is out of place everywhere.
Although no one was born lower than him, no one rose higher than him.
He later became one of the greatest presidents in America.
Lincoln often makes fun of himself, especially his appearance. In response to those who slandered him as two-faced, he said: "People all over the world know that I don't have two sides, otherwise I wouldn't appear in front of everyone with this face." If he thinks about it all day because he is ugly, he will never be president and will not be loved by the people.

The king of Chu said, "It is human nature for a woman to win her husband's favor by virtue of her beauty. Now Zheng Xiu knows that I like Wei women, but she loves Wei women more than me. This is simply a dutiful son serving his parents and a loyal minister serving the monarch. "
Knowing that the King of Chu thought she was not jealous, Zheng Xiu said to Wei's daughter, "The King of Chu likes your beauty, but he hates your nose. So when you see the king, you must cover your nose. " From then on, women in Wei covered their noses when they saw the king of Chu. The king of Chu said to Zheng Xiu, "When women in Wei saw me, they all covered their noses. Why? " Zheng Xiu replied, "I do know about it." The king of Chu said, "No matter how ugly you are, you must say it." Zheng Xiu said, "She seems to hate the smell of kings." The king of Chu said, "What a bitch!" I was ordered to cut off a beautiful woman's nose and never forgive her.
Hitchcock shooting
It's boring by its beauty.
Hitchcock is Britain's world-famous suspense movie master.
Once, he was directing a blockbuster, and the heroine he worked with was a big star and a beautiful woman.
Female stars have been nagging since filming.
For an instant, I suggested that this shot was wrong and I couldn't capture her beauty. The next moment, he said, "You must use a big close-up" or something. In a word, I always remind Hitchcock to choose the lens according to her requirements and capture her beauty.
She said to Hitchcock many times, "You must meet my requirements!"
Hitchcock replied, "Sorry, I can't."
"Why?"
Hitchcock said loudly, "Your beauty is what my film doesn't need at all!" " "
Mourn its beauty
-Inner beauty lasts longer and is more attractive.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man in the State of Wei named Ai Guita. Although he looks ugly, both men and women like to associate with him, and they are close and easy-going and reluctant to leave. Some women even said, "Better be a concubine than a wife." He has no power, no property, no profound theory, and no outstanding achievements, but this ugly man with coarse appearance is loved and praised by almost everyone, which makes Lu amazed, so he was sent to visit Lu from Weiguo. After getting along for less than a month, Lu Aigong felt that he really had a lot of advantages in plain life. In less than a year, I trusted him. Soon, the position of prime minister became vacant, and Lu Aigong made him take office to manage state affairs, but he was indifferent and careless about being an official. Although he repeatedly asked to participate in state affairs, he quickly resigned from his high position and returned to his humble house in Weiguo. In this regard, Lu Aigong asked Confucius: "What kind of person is he?" Confucius said metaphorically, "I once saw a group of piglets suckling on newly dead sows in Chu. They all fled in horror for a while, because the piglets found that the sows were not as kind as they were when they were alive. It can be seen that pigs love sows not because of their bodies, but because of the spirit and inner character that dominate their bodies. Sadly, although his appearance is not beautiful, his inner beauty such as morality and talent must have surpassed the average person, so you and many talents like him. "
Gio Qin Wei
-beauty can only be discovered if you love beauty.
When Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived, there was a minister named Cai Yong. Cai Yong is honest, and honesty is honesty. Because he advised the spirit emperor many times, and the eunuch slandered him in front of the spirit emperor, he knew that he had become a thorn in the side of the spirit emperor and was in danger of being hurt at any time. So he packed his bags, fled the capital, and lived in seclusion in the state of Wu.
Cai Yong is good at playing the piano and has a lot of research on it. He has a set of incisive and original views on the selection, production and tuning of piano. When I fled Beijing, I always took my beloved piano with me and cared for it from time to time.
In those days when Wudi lived in seclusion, Cai Yong often played the piano and used it to express his sadness and depression.
One day, Cai Yong was sitting in her room, fumbling and sighing, and the landlady was cooking in the kitchen next door. She stuffed firewood into the stove, and sparks burst out, and the firewood crackled.
Suddenly, Cai Yong was surprised to hear the crisp crackling sound coming from the next room. He listened carefully for a few seconds, shouted "No", jumped up and ran to the kitchen. When he came to the fire, Cai Yong did not care about the fire. He reached out and pulled out the paulownia wood that had just been stuffed into the stove as firewood. He shouted: "Don't burn it, don't burn it, it's a rare good material for piano!" " His hand was burned and he didn't feel any pain. He was blowing and touching the paulownia tree in surprise. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and the paulownia was still intact, so Cai Yong bought it. Then carefully carved, meticulous and painstaking, and finally made this piece of paulownia into a piano. This piano is beautifully played and its timbre is unparalleled in the world.
This piano has been handed down and become a rare treasure in the world. Because its tail is burnt, people call it "Wei Jiaoqin".
