Words like “best” and “most” do not make sense. There is no “best” out of the class. I may think Georgena is the best-looking girl in the world, but is she? Billy doesn’t think so. Different people have different opinions. All people have areas in which they are strong and, from their point of view, they are the best. Many things are judged on opinions and viewpoints.
There are downfalls to being good looking, athletic, or smart. During elementary and secondary school, everyone is classified. When a person is an athlete they are called a “jock;” if a person is smart, they are called a “nerd” and are picked on to no end.
Aging plays a part in my decision. As big ugly football players get older, they get fat. Even if they exercise, they cannot keep their figure. A beauty queen does not stay beautiful forever either. Eventually gravity and nature set in and ruin a wonderful thing. Nothing gold can stay.
Intelligence is an asset in a person’s life. It can be worked on, improved, and will be with the person until death. Intelligence can be used in everything a person does, and can be taught to others. Being intelligent is more important than looking good or being a good athlete.
