this is a rock
many people consider it ugly right but
that’s just on the outside the inside is
a different story but none in a bad way
in a completely different special
wonderful way
now that rock is exactly like us
it doesn’t matter on how we look on the
outside because the outside doesn’t tell
us who we are as a person but what’s on
the inside is what really matters there
is a big misunderstanding of what beauty
really means many people believe that
beauty is based on how you look but does
how you look tell who you are as a
person
in an allure survey conducted in 2010 35
% of people in the world felt like their
appearance define their identity in 2015
that number jumped to 50% and I’m here
to prove those percentage of people
wrong looking back at that percentage
most of those people judge other people
by just what they wear now I’m not
saying those people are bullies or
anything like that but what I am saying
is that those people need to be taught
that what you wear doesn’t give you a
treat nor does it define your identity
beefing up tree this brings us to my
next example which is look at these
rocks which rock would you choose to
have this plain old black rock or this
engaging pink and purple rock most
people would choose the engaging pink
and purple rocker why in 2015 one study
showed that 50% of people in the world
decides whether or not they like
guys just by looking at your face just
like these rocks but when we look on the
inside the Black Rock has these
beautiful crystals inside and when we
look on the inside of the pink and
purple rock it’s just plain old black
now it’s rock would you choose to have
these rocks maybe exactly like us the
purple and pink Rock maybe a person who
puts on makeup every day to look make
themselves look pretty but then is rude
and mean and the Black Rock maybe a
person who doesn’t have a regular face
but then has a fabulous personality
facial looks doesn’t give you trait and
they don’t tell who you are as a person
or what you have been through as a
person for example if you look at the
book wonder by RJ Palacio Auggie has a
different face from other people that’s
why nobody wanted to be his friend but
when he showed his personality to people
everyone wanted to be his friend
why couldn’t just be this way in the
first place if nobody would judge other
people by just what they looked like it
would be a better world other people may
see ads on technology or television
shows that hire pretty ladies to come
and sponsor for them for example perfume
but does that make those ladies
beautiful answer is unlikely not people
hire these pretty ladies to get and grab
your attention they hire them to get you
thinking oh if I buy that product then
I’ll be as beautiful as them but do you
want to be what if that person is rude
or even mean see people don’t see beauty
in people like I see it beauty isn’t
about having a pretty face it’s about
having a pretty mind a pretty heart and
a pretty soul so next time you ever look
at a magazine
or an ad try to ask yourself this do you
really need that product to make
yourself beautiful thank you [Applause]
