Answer 2

$\huge\underline\bold \red {AnswEr : }$

$<p style = " color : cyan ; front - family ; cursive ; background : black ; front size25 of ; " > Knowledge is power’ and brain is the container of knowledge. A man is different from a beast only for his brain that makes him learn to differentiate between good and evil. Physical beauty is an added quality. Life is enlightened for brains and not for beauty. A beautiful appearance with dull brains is of no use. On the other hand, a bugle appearance having a powerful brain can produce something for human welfare. So, brains have got prominence over beauty.</p><p></p><p>Beauty and brains are two vital factors foe humans. Someone would prefer having beautiful and good looking appearance and feel they are very lucky. On the other hand, someone would prefer having brains. I would prefer having brains than beauty.</p><p></p><p>Beauty is a comparative idea. Someone may be exceptionally beautiful wouldn’t last for life-time. One’s physical beauty can easily be abated. So the stability of physical attraction is not getting guarantee for life-time. If a beautiful women or a handsome man loses physical attraction, she or he would fail getting response from other people.</p><p></p><p>It is sometimes said that brain or talent is god-gifted thing. If it is such a thing, it requires nourishment properly. If one’s brain is not is not used, he or she is surely to be a worthless creature. Through use or practice of brain a man can do lot for himself, for his society, for his country and even for the world. A man who can do a lot for himself, for have physical beauty necessarily. A man of brains can easily win the heart of common people through his invaluable services to the mankind.</p><p></p><p>It is said man is a worshiper of beauty. But only beauty wouldn’t do long. The appeal of beauty must fade by the course of time. A man would found himself hapless and worthless with his faded beauty. Nothing would remain to him ultimately.</p><p></p><p>Talents are of great importance. Actually beauty a little to man or man woman or to the total mankind. On the other hand, a talented man gets the opportunity to give a lot to the whole world. If we judge we would easily comprehend that talented persons have given us much more services rather than the beautiful persons. So I want to assert that not beauty but brains win the heart of man ultimately.$
