Sidney Katz Attractiveness

I disagree with Sidney Katz’s position that your attractiveness determines your success in life. I believe that confidence, determination, and a sense of purpose more than your perceived attractiveness have a greater impact on your success throughout life. Beauty, or attractiveness, is a subjective quality and everyone judges it differently. While there is undeniably a universal standard for beauty that most of us can agree on, think Christie Brinkley or Giselle Bundchen and Brad Pitt or George Clooney, there are some who would disagree that one or the other of those named is not attractive. On the other side of the coin, you have those in the same professions who succeeded that do not conform to that “standard” of beauty, for example Tyler
Perry or Ashley Graham. They have succeeded in their chosen profession not because they are attractive in the traditional sense, but because they possess the confidence and determination to succeed despite others opinions or beliefs. Confidence, determination, and a sense of purpose in life can be, and often are, far more important to your success and how others judge you than whether you are attractive.
