The eyes with which we choose to see

In today's My Paper, there was this article by Leow Ju-len titled "You're vain, self-absorbed and shallow".

There wasn't very much to the article, except for the following statement which caught my attention:

"What makes Singapore girls so hot and Singapore guys so not, then? Nothing more than the eyes with which we choose to see."

Isn't this something that's so true was some many aspect of our lives?

What makes a guy hot? His face? His muscular body? His charm? The big car he drives?

What makes a person successful? His career? His year income? His reputation? His inner well-being?

What makes beauty? What makes happiness?

Nothing more than the eyes with which we choose to see.
