Question: Would you rather be: Extraordinarily intelligent, attractive, or average!? Please explain why!. Thanks!!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Average!. Its what I am now, after all!. I have enough intelligence to know that I am woefully ignorant!.
I'd not want the genius you ask about!. Genius is a wonderful thing, but it is not the cure for everything!. It's limits are enough to drive a sane man crazy, and its duties too heavy a burden for me to want to bear!.
Beauty is as beauty does!.!.!.that's a saying I've heard all my life!. I prefer, what is left when beauty fades!? Whats the use of being attractive/beautiful if all it does is please the eyes!? If all there is to someone is their outer aspect, then I have no use for them!. A pretty face can hide an evil personality!. Any face can for that matter!.!.!.but a pretty one hides it in a package that people don't want to unwrap to see whats inside!. When the wrapping falls away, and the reality within is revealed, then there is bitter disappointment!.
If someone wants to know average old me, all they have to do is sit down and say hi!. I don't hide behind my face/outer aspect!.!.!.I don't try to dazzle with my brilliance!. I am who and what I am!.!.!.if that's average, then I accept it gladly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

especially as a man, extraordinarily intelligent!. men have a much easier time than women in society when it comes to looks - you can be ugly as sin, but if you're rich or brilliant or [whatever personal attribute] you are praised and all that!. women basically have to look good or be ten times as intelligent, artistic, etc!. as the guy in order to be noticed!. so I would understand if a woman answered this with "attractive"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You will never know where you are!. Am I extraordinarily intelligent, am I attractive!? the thing is who you compare yourself with!?

Then you will get yourself into a loophole as to compare with others, from there on, get jealous, judgemental!.

The best thing to do, as one of best philosophy my Mom taught me, is to compare with yourself!. Be diligent enough to be proud of yourself!. Build yourself into a person you would love so much!.

This is my 5 cents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

True intelligence is a quiet understanding and knowing of the hearts of mankind and the world!. Its beauty lies in its humility!. I find people at one with the world unbelievably beautiful!. They have a quiet gentility the arduous and striving so glaringly lack!.

Artificial intelligence in the form of one taught to recite facts parrot fashion is tedious, boring and self absorbed rendering it dismissible and forgettable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would rather be average!. i have watched plenty of people that the world has adorn!. and pretty much we live in covetous society, were everyone wants to be like or know the famous person!. I was at a large woman's gathering of about 26,000 people and yes i love the speaker and love what she has to say!. but during one of the breaks i heard this other lady speak about how she loved this woman, and that she was wearing her favorite color!. We went to lunch then she had to order her favorite food, and during lunch she had to remind us ( not that we were out of line) that this lady would be very disappointed if act out of order!. "Come,come girls we mustn't be late! lets go we don't want to let our speaker down!." Well i looked at this woman as if she enter another world!. then when we got back i could not help notice the looks and actions of other people when the doors open people were stampiding to go in and had no regards for thos who were handy cap and in wheel chairs!. i was appauld, then women were fighting over seats and would not do what the ushers would ask!. These women came to the event that was suppose to bring out the best, but instead it brought out the beast!.
then i looked at the work of this womans hand she had provided thousands of jobs for the people of her community!.she had put in a lot of plannig with the help of her staff, to make this event a memorable experience for every woman there!.!.!.then i thought how she had more than just one woman that would fall at her feet at a drop of a pin!. I would not want anyone to loose themselves and who they are to please me!. to be extraordiary does not bring peace and i love to have my peace!. as the saying goes on the "Reinassance man" with Danny De Vito!. " Man with much wisdom has much sarrow" Extraordinary people can see and understand things that many of us can't, won't, or choose not to see!. They can also see the true intention of others weather they are good or bad!. and they accept that common sense is a blessing and not something that everyone has!. But then you already know this!. you asked the questionWww@QuestionHome@Com

Why wish to be something other than myself!? To do that means that I have given up being who I am; that I have failed as a person!. "I am that I am", some imaginary being is supposed to have said!. Am I that being!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Interesting, am working on being my best in the future( which is manifesting its self right now), meaning that, i will be what i will be at that particular time!.

Who knows!.!.!.

Will let you know when i reach there!.
