the beauty of oneself

used to hear this saying quite a lot of time, but seems to be forgetting it in times of need...so thought of sharing it for may one day if i totally forgotten it someone else may remind me of it :)

"ما أحسن في وجه الفتى زينة له # إن لم تكن في فعله و خلائق"

more or less it means : "there is nothing better that beautifies for oneself # except those of his actions and manners"


remembering how many things we tried on to make us look better,the time we spent on,countless hours days months and years,how much of our wealth has we spent on looking better,it may change our look our beauty,yet those things does not change the way how people look at us,..for the things that beautifies us,make us look better is our actions,what we did to others. for our manners how we treat people,how we talk to others. respecting the elders and being merciful with the youngsters,those are the things that will change the way people look at us,either with love,respect and admiration or hate,anger and displease,..may it be more than just a word in our daily life.


ps : to those who are able to correct me on the wrong translation of the saying is most welcome :D
