M01: Beauty or confidence?

My dear students M01,


You have read the article on ‘corset’ and ‘foot binding’ when you wrote the essay.

Based on those two articles, we have learnt about their obsession for the ultimate desire that is beauty.

Is beauty that important? Is beauty what you look for in your dream partner or in yourselves?

Is beauty what that matter most?

Or is it confidence, that you look most for yourselves or, for your dream partner.

So, if you were given the ability to choose between beauty (physical attraction) to confidence (high self-esteem), which one would you prefer?

Beauty or confidence? You can only choose one.

And why you choose it? Why it is important to you?

Let’s discuss.

P/s: don’t forget to answer the poll for this topic (top, at the right corner of this blog).

Assalamualaikum miss.
Hope you well. It seem like i am the first one who give comment about this topic here. Congratulation to me. Haha. Back to our topic,actually for me, both of that beauty and confident are can not be seperated. Why? It is because beauty without any confident just like eating rice without anything on it. What a waste right? But you had ask me about the which one would i prefer whether beauty or confident.

Honestly, for me confident is the most i prefer. It is because with enough confident in ourself we can overcome our weakness. Plus if i want to find my soulmate, i will look for her confident on our relationship. Not for her beauty or her 'thing'. Why again? It is because beauty will not last forever. Do you agree with me?

That's all. Thank you.

Good day. Straight to the point, I prefer to become a person who are confidence in life. In my opinion, beauty is very important not only for the female but the male too. It is because a person with good looking may have the more opportunities to get a good job or promotion to higher position nowadays. However, real beauty come from confidence. A confident person will emit his/her fascination and glamor indirectly and hence he/she will become handsome or pretty.

I choose to have confidence because I believe that confidence will bring me the beauty. With confidence, I am able to express my view to my friends and present my slides to anyone. Besides, I need confidence in my future especially in my carrier. Confidence boost excellent mental thinking. One with confidence will be able to solve the difficulties that he/she face successfully. Moreover, I agree with Che Wan that beauty will not last forever because a beautiful flower will be withered one day.

The judgement of beauty was changed from the pass until now. But, the girl just have to remember that the real beauty come from a healthy body and confidence.

hello everyone...
i am so glad and proud as a third person give comments about two subjectives word.Honestly,when first time read about beauty and confidence,it take time to choose one.Yes,both are important and needed in our life because both give a lot of means.Someone can't stands without beauty.Same as confidence.In others hands,beauty and confidence are just like nail and fingers,both cannot be seperated.
For me,i would like consider the confidence than beauty.We create the confidence in ourself in everything what we did and it help a lot to achieve our dreams.It is not easy to build the confidence but it comes trough our high spirit and no all person can do it.So,once you get the confidence,keep it.Plus,the beauty comes after you get the confidence..
so,make sure you are confidence then only you will look beauty in yourself.

Hi everyone, hope you all have a nice day...
Now wanted to comment about beauty or confidence...
I think beauty is important but confidence is more important than beauty...
Self-confidence is having confidence in oneself. According to wikipedia, confidence is a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. On the other hand, beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction.

Now coming to my point of view, I certainly think that confidence is more important than beauty. Beauty is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture. This is because beauty won't last forever. Confidence will certainly bring success in one's life. If a person got confidence in him/herself, he/she can manage his/her life very well. No one can influence on his/hers decision. Confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy as those without it may fail or not try because they lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than because of an innate ability.

Hmmmm... that's all from me for now. Bubye.

Assalamualaikum miss..have a nice day...our topic this month is beauty and confident..For me,this two thing is important.But the most important is confident.
Confident is important because without confident ,we can't success in our life.Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective.
For beauty, we also must have it.But not so important than confident. Beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction.
From this,confident very influence in our life. So we must think for our confident first before we think obout beauty in our life.. That's all. thank you..=#

Assalamualaikum n to my lecture Miss Marziah, I hope you always healty and happy every day. Now, the topic is beauty or confidence to be a dream partner. Between both of above where is really important? For me the confidence is more important than the beauty. Why I say like that, a confidence will still in a person but the beauty will lost with time by time.
Ok if we choose our dream partner base on their beauty are we will happy and can survivor together until our die. That is because we as human will change fetus, children, young, old and dead. That is a life travel on this world.
After that, the confidence almost important. For example, when we have any problem or something to talk it is easily to talk or discuss with her. If she is not confidence with herself so how we can life in happiness with her until we die.
Ok, for my opinion when a person look confidence, directly the beauty will produced from herself. Actually, the beauty came from the confidence. The beauty just can't see from the face but from the heart talk or heart eye. Although, some person is not beauty, but that person is confidence, some the person will look confidence. Why I say like that because the beauty is abstract, not like confidence it's show from that person.
The conclusion is the confidence is more important than beauty. So search a confidence person to became your dream partner hehehehe. Bye bye and take care Miss Marziah.

Asaamualaikum and very good day. In my opinion, I believe that confidence is the most important things if I want to find my dream partner. And for me also, I much prefer confidence compare than beauty. This is because, with confidence we can achieve many things such as job, soul mate and others. By confidence also will brings out the beauty in ourselves. And that beauty will last forever compare than physical beauty that cannot last forever. If u only looked at the beauty only, Then you will tend to abandon his/her because the beauty on faded by age.

Thank you.

Assalammualaikum and good evening to all of my beloved friends and my beloved teacher,Miss Marziah.Today I would like to comment on the topic which is the best between beauty and confidence?

In my opinion,I think confidence is very important than beauty.This is because when we have the confidence,our beauty will appear naturally from our heart.
Moreover,confidence will be more important when we attend an interview.We must to confidence to make the interviewer trust us and take us as their employee.

Besides that,with high confidence in ourselves we can survive our life at anywhere or everywhere we are place in this world.If we are only have beauty but less confidence in ourselves,our life not mean anything.

In conclusion,from just what I give comment for beauty and confidence,we can see that confidence is the most important thing and we must build our confidence from right now.

I'm amazed at how many girls lack confidence and just continually compare themselves to others. I spent years never feeling good about myself, but now I finally felt beautiful and successful. I lost that for a bit, but I got it back. It all about CONFIDENT.

I believe every person is BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, SEXY, and have their own beauty. You have the power to be a superb. It all depends on you. You've maybe seen the amazing and beautiful women who will complain about their body, and starve themselves to be "pretty".Then there are the women who don't pretty as we see but turn heads everywhere they go. Why???? Because they GOT IT. They believe they are beautiful. They know they are beautiful,they don't need others to tell them they tell themselves and others believe.

If you walk into a room, head up, back nice and straight,making eye contact and you will get a different reaction than if you quietly walk into a room, avoiding everyone's eyes, and hiding in the back. Try it!! I'd try this before and it really work it..

So, I think confident is most important in our life. If you was confident, therefore you was a beautiful, sexy, DIVA. GOT IT??? ;)

statement 'beauty is pain' is true..
to gain beauty some people has to face pain to gain the beautiness to make he or she happy..especially women nowday has a courage to has surgery to change or make them look beautiful..
corset and foot binding are example in making them more beautiful for old genaration but in this new era people willing to make surgery...it's look same doesn't it?
although it doesn't make sense, it always been choosen by people whose crazy about beautiness.so 'no pain no gain'.

Assalamualaikum and good evening miss Marziah....

Sorry for not blogging for a long time, quite busy with some works.

For me, I will choose confidence that beauty because confidence shows that someone is really into something and make them feel confidence with themselves. Beauty can come anytime but confidence not.

Nowadays, confidence is really needed for any kind of job or anything. Without it, someone is nothing. Without it also, someone is not capable to do things and communicate with anyone. As an example, someone that did not have any confidence or low in confidence cannot go to work or interview or anything.

So, it's proven that confidence really plays a lot in someone life. With it, anything can happens easily without any problems.

Hello Miss Marziah...
Today i want to comment about this topic there is 'Beauty and Confident'.
I think this topic quite important for me because it' related with me like beuty and confident.
Actually,i didn't have it.

But now, I have confident when I was in UMP because at here i learn more about the skill
how to look confident.In addition.Confident was happend at many place or any time like we must confident
while talking in front of the people,while standing in exam and presentation.Comparing with beauty,confident is quite needed because
when you are confident,audience can't saw you mistakes because your good performance.Besides that,only once time the audience afford saw your beauty.
This happend when the first performance.When they look bad perfomance that you show,they start to bored and make the noisy.

So I agree that the confident is important for our life because it can make the perfect person.
I hope i got enough my confident because actually i lack off my beauty.So,I must improve my confident
for the next presentation so that no shaking while public speaking.

That's all for me.Thak you.

Good day. I rather choose confidence than beauty. In my opinion, confidence should be placed more important than beauty because life is full of challenge and without confidence we would not able to contribute to society. Nowadays, we need to do at every second, decision. We have to decide every single activities we enjoy. For example, in educations and works. We have to make decision which brings more benefit and suitable to us. Confidence make us more easy to choose the best for us. Beauty cannot apply those important part in making daily decision.
In making a good images to others, confidence also is far more important than beauty. Let the nowadays teenagers, boy and girl relationship being the example for this statement. Most of the boy would prefer finding a beautiful girls than suitable girls for them. In this cases, they have to be confidence to attract the girls. In the girl’s eye sight, girls would rather prefer finding a guy who bring happiness to live with. Hence, girls should confidence with what decision she have made so that she won’t regret in future. So, by those two concept I have mentioned, confidence is more important than beauty because world is keep changing from beginning, girls didn’t have any status in life but now boys and girls are same status in life. Beauty may important at beginning but not that important in now.
Thats all from me. Thank you for reading.
