Is Good Appearance More Im—portant than Capability？

Old people often tell the young， “Don’t judge a person by his appearance”， meaning capability is more important than appearance. However， nowadays， with more interviewers putting emphasis on looks and the appearance of the applicants， a lot of people come to the conclusion that appearance is more important than capability.

As for me， I can’t agree with this argument. Good appearance is pleasant， but capability is more important， because it demonstrates one’s self-cultivation and practical values. It shows the efforts and the glory of acquiring something through one’s hard work whereas good looks bespeak no struggle of the individual. Besides， maybe sometimes a beautiful face can help a girl acquire a good position， but in the long run it is her talent not her look that really works in her career development.

Therefore， those without good appearance needn’t feel depressed because one’s success depends on his capability； those with good appearance have to work hard since good appearance cannot bring a person final success.
