Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters.Because beauty is powerful.Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny，we are still moved by beauty.No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune(不受影响)，beauty exerts (施加)its power over us.There is simply no escape.

There are more important things in life than beauty.But as Etcoff says，“We have to understand beauty，or we will always be enslaved by it.”If you aim to be wise and kind and funny，it doesn't mean that you can't also try your best to look beautiful.There's no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty's power.It moves us all.

It's hard to give the concept of being charming.In general，to be charming means to possess an attractive personality.There is no unchanging secret to be charming，but a positive change in your thinking can get great benefits.

If you want to learn to be charming，you have to learn the art of politeness.Nobody likes someone who is rude and bad­tempered all the time，and if you are cordial(热情友好的)and polite to people around you they will obviously appreciate your presence.

Sincerity is the key to becoming charming.If you genuinely wish to win people over and appear charming in their eyes，you need to genuinely feel what you say to them.

The most charming men and women have the ability to make people laugh.Everyone loves to be humorous as it can greatly remove the despair or sadness in everyone's lives.
