This is probably the most offensive, immature line of thinking. Life's most important contributions aren't how good, or how bad, you look.
Sure, people who are naturally attractive might have some things easier, but... who cares? Everyone has some things easier, and some things more difficult, than other people. That's life, and life is beautiful.
In all seriousness, if you have severe issues with your looks, you could either a) change them b) accept them c) seek therapy to accept them.
You want a good education? Work for it.
You want a successful career? Work for it.
You want to be respected by colleagues? Work for it.
Get an education, work wisely, and use your brains. Looking pretty can't get you everywhere, anyway. You're not going to be respected becaues of your looks... you'll be respected because of your career accomplishments.
If you see life as "oh, poor me, everyone else gets handed everything on a plate, you'll ... 1) never accomplish anything, other than feeling sorry for yourself and 2) not be attractive, because attractive people have confidence.
I'm really not trying to be harsh, but... trying to encourage you wake up and smell the roses. Looks don't matter, your outlook on life does. So does your education and career accomplishments and life accomplishments. None of those things happen with self-pity.
"Encourage" my ass. All I'm seeing is someone being a ****. Get over yourself and stop trying to use this "advice".
