In this article "Achieving fame, wealth and beauty are psychological dead ends, study says", the author said if someone pursues fame, becoming rich and a wonderful appearance, it will make people more stressful and less happy. People who care about these three things too much will have some symptoms of stress which will people get negative feelings. And people who care about personal growth, loving relationships and health find them easier to achieve and that makes people have positive feelings about themselves.

I have a different opinion with the author's about beauty's making people ill being. I think achieving beauty can make people happy, especially for women. And I agree with some of the author's opinion that pursuing wealth and fame too much will make people less happy.

People get self-confidence from achieving a beautiful appearance. If someone is good looking, that makes them feel good about themselves and others. For example, if two people get an interview at the same place,and their education and other stuff is similar, but if one of them has a common appearance and another one is very beautiful, them whom will you choose? I think most of people will choose the good looking one, because they are the same quality and you will see them, so why make things painful? It's no other choice living in this kind of society. There is an old saying in China; there aren't any ugly women, only lazy women. People must pursue beauty.

Pursuing wealth can make people unhappy or upset, and the most important thing is that not everyone can achieve he goal. Some people can achieve it easily but some people, no matter how they struggle, they don't. People never know an enjoyable life if they just pursue wealth all the time. And they just think about how to make more money until they die. I think that's very sad. I mean money is also important in human's life, but money is just one of the things that make people's life well, and it loses its original meaning if people think about that too much.

Fame is not everything in human's life; even sometimes it makes people feel good. Of course there are different goals to achieve for everyone's personality. People's lives are for their happiness, not for showing others; it will be very tiring to think about how other people think about you when you do everything. If you want do something, then do it, don't be aware of other stuff, even it's not good for everyone; as long as it doesn't have a bad effecting society, it's ok.

Different people want different things, and I think achieving beauty is good thing. It's much better to live with a beautiful face and it's not that hard to acheve. Just try not to be too crazy at it. And paying too much attention to money and fame causes tress, and is not good for your physical health.
