if you are given three choices and that is to select the traits which you like to have. Which you would choose to be rich, smart or gorgeous? Which you think is the most important and what your reasons for choosing it? Being rich you could have all the pleasure which money could buy and being smart you could be either a balance of being know the right and wrong and being gorgeous means being pretty or handsome that could stole the heart and mind of anyone who look at them.

another smart answer. it helps a person to learn to improve his situation by thinking about the solution. so rather than being narrow minded versus being smart. you would learn to overcome difficulties and never to think about escape. but rather think to overcome a difficult situation.

I'll choose to be smart.If you are smart you can manage your money well and be rich.When you will be rich then you can correct your flaws maybe by surgical intervention.If you choose to be rich but not smart,you can lost your money through your stupidity.How can you be gorgeous then if you don't have enough to eat.If you choose to be gorgeous but not smart nor rich,maybe you will just end up to be a hooker,so you can be rich but you can never be smart.

yes that a good reason and your reply the best reflect the good and bad sides of the three choices. and being smart is a good advantage over the two values even though each have its own reason. this make it the safest choice among the three with many benefits t can gives.

that true and lot of respondent choose smart. being rich and beautiful is not the best choice. but each has ts own advantages depending on a situation. a rich could not worry about money where smart and those beautiful have less.they need to work hard to have money. both have its own advantages and disadvantages.

yes i read some choose to be rich. since some have no patience to work throughout there lives and to the present they already old. they realize they were not yet rich despite of their effort. maybe , because some contented to become a servant to other people by working to them if we act like a boss such as having a business of their own . then, they could be rich.

An extremely intriguing question this one is is. There is only one answer that I would go for after a half of a second of thought. And that would be being smart. There are many benefits of being smart over the other one. Intelligence is one thing that is going to do you well to all parts of life. There are going to be times where your knowledge are going to swerve you quite well. It is going to bring you through every facet of life. It is something that is going to allow us to get through some tough times as well, as by being smart, we are going to be able to figure out an inventive solution in many ways. The other two, I can see why people would go for them. However, if you are smart, you can find a way to make some money. If you just have money, but are not that smart, people will take advantage of you. You will get all sorts of new friends, a lot of them out for your money in many ways. Therefore that money, is not something that you would have in your possession for all that long. As for being gorgeous, well looks are really not forever. They do fade fast, and if you do not have your smarts, than really what do you have into your older years. Therefore, in the end, smarts are really something that are the best out of the three. They will swerve everyone well through their life.

yeah, the question is quite tempting between being smart and rich. some cling to choose to become smart and other to be rich. from what i read they have the same valid reason. you may choose smart because you find it is the right choice couple with various reasons which is quite acceptable. and being rich. some choose t because they already lost patience on working hard to be rich. and becoming rich or born with richness. things make it easy at all.

yes that being true with being hardworking and productive but some people i know are smart but lazy. so they never work hard and some only smart to join monkey business. this lead to failure so to be rich need lot of patience, handwork and believe to yourself as having confidence to follow your interest so you feel joy inside.

yes, that the choice of many here who reply and i think all have their own reason that smart could be tantamount to being rich in terms of being intelligent. f given a choice i would choose either of the two smart and being rich. smart cause could make a wise decision and being rich. if i have money even i am not smart, i could make myself smart by being educated or going to school to study. and with money, i could make myself beautiful too..

We all have the power to choose how we value things in this world. Everything is relative to this. With a penny in my pocket, I can be rich,with old beatup clothes, I can be gorgeous, since I can find my way back home, I can be smart. I find it much easier to be all three.

yes, that a good choice according to ranking or to which you may think applicable in your lives or with your current situation. with those things combine. you enjoy both with no contradiction. other may be disillusion to choose only one which they might think as good answer coupled with a good reasoning that other think is not wrong at all.

I choose to be smart. One can be rich, but they are not smart. One can look gorgeous, but they are empty inside. Being smart allows me to be rich, since i have the brains for big things. Being smart gives me an added advantage over others when i can communicate well, knowledgable, impress others with my gorgeous mind.

yeah, that okay with me. but i find out that being smart does not make you rich instantly. you need to make an effort to give fruition to hard work. and being rich. some are born with t and some work hard starting from the bottom toward becoming a millionaire. it takes a lot of effort and being gorgeous is mostly a superficial choice.

Personally I would prefer to be what I am right now. A person becomes rich by his heart not by his wealth. As someone said beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. How beautiful or gorgeous you are, in the end it matters what type of person you are. The total perspective of person is much more important. Being smart is good in today world but over smartness might lead to your own downfall. One should be happy the way they are. After all its the nature of the heart which is more important. so just be good to yourself and to people around you and you will find the key of happiness.

yes if were gong to look in terms of spiritual matter and emotional way. while other think being smart could be tantamount to material wealth, power, influence and superiority toward other people who are not the same status as he acquire. and being beautiful as you already explain also depend on the beholder which i also find out true. it depend on individual definition of what the beauty men to them.

I preferred to use the word "rich", in that opportunity I can do many things... help other to learn and apply to their life what is really important in this world. Teach many poor children help them to grow with hope in their heart, give other the opportunity to earn using their skills and talent. =)

yes, that a good choice too i myself s confuse but to make all things easy for myself and to be able to help other. being rich makes it easy for to choose. as we all know we all go to school, graduate o get a job and work through out their lives. and yet other are working hard but when they get old they hardly change there lives. all those income goes to spending a lot and nothing s left. being rich is a good choice too..

I will choose to be smart. Being a smart person can produce much fortune, and beauty is only superficial thing. So I think it is much better to be referred to as being smart.

yes that a good choice. many who reply also choose t. they have their own reason and i am amaze with the reasoning behind it. maybe they get it from their experience or based from the experience of other people. all those who reply included you create logical reason and from their own experience. they were all correct in there own perspectives which i truly appreciate.

If only these three options are available, I would certainly choose to be smart that means to do the right thing at the right time. Through this, I would be win over the world as its humble citizen and be exactly what a human-being need be ideally. Humans have the most developed intellect of all species of life in the Universe. Therefore, a person who makes the best use of his/her intellect is the best human-being and this trait is included in being smart.

yes that being smart alone could not immediately a gate pass to riches t could only be used as a tools to gain knowledge and experience at the same time. f people is smart they could land a job and earn to save to invest. and that become a good business when it bring income. that possibilities they could become rich with lot of hard work.

This is an easy question for me because intelligence is the most important by far in my opinion. I would like be rich and attractive as well, but given the choice I would stick to being ugly and poor in order to be intelligent. Intelligence gives you the ability to control your life to a far greater degree and despite what obstacles life presents you remain able to mentally cope with them and gain some satisfaction from life. I place great value in the ability to understand what is happening around you and how the items that we use everyday actually work.

Actually if you are intelligent and good looking the rich part takes care of itself. Won't happen over night but it no doubt will. Beauty is only skin deep and fades with time so the intelligence is to me the most important thing. There have been people that have won the lottery, obtaining riches beyond their wildest dreams, and in a few short years lost it all. Why? The did not know how to handle it and that is why intelligence is so important. So for me to be intelligence is far more important as all the rest is transit.

yes smart is the best choice but also depend on the current situation. some have regret they could be smart but they have to struggle a lot of time and energy to get there to be rich or well endowed. they take a lot most of the time before they know they already old and only left small time to acquire what they need. so smart is good couple with perseverance and confidence and being patience if they have lack of it success is very far from reality.

I rather choose being smart, because by being smart I can think of a better ways to be rich. When I am rich, I will get gorgeous since I can afford to buy all the make up, vitamins, anything that is about making me pretty. I can really have it all if I am smart. I find ways to make being rich and gorgeous happen on me.
