The Greek philosopher Socrates was not beautiful by face. His face was ugly. One day while sitting in his room he was looking at his face in the mirror. Then one of his disciples entered the room.

Seeing Socrates as a mirror, the smile smiled on the pupil's lips. Seeing this, Socrates understood what was going on in his mind. They told him, "I understand the meaning of your smiling. You are definitely wondering why a bad person like me is watching the mirror? "

The disciple was ashamed of his actions and apologized to Socrates. Then Socrates asked him, "Want to know why I see the mirror?"

The disciple did not respond. He was still ashamed.

But Socrates went on speaking in his own rhythm, "I look at my niggardly in the mirror everyday and think that I should do all my life in my life so that my goodness can cover my ugliness."

The disciple was very impressed by the idea of ​​Socrates. But there was a doubt in his mind. To prevent her, he asked, "master, why do the beautiful people see the mirror? They should not need it. "

Socrates replied, "It is not so. The beautiful people must see the mirror and look at their beautiful face and think that they are as beautiful as they are, and they do the same good and good deeds. So that bad deeds can not cover their beauty and they should not be called deformed due to their actions. "

After listening to Socrates, the doubts of the disciple were resolved. At the same time, the value of his master increased in his mind.

Education: The face should not be beautiful, but the mind should be beautiful.
