To be beautiful means to be yourself.You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower.

True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
