I just read a Socrates quote about the body that a lot of fitness/weight lifting people seem to use for motivation. It made me think, what is it about being born attractive or working to become that way that does seem to mean you are not doomed to be a great mind.

when you think of all the great intellects, writers and comedians in history and currently, all the great scientists, all the great business tycoons it's pretty much average looking people down to outright ugly people.

so is it that average/ugly people from a young age can't rely on their attractiveness and concentrate on their minds that produces this? or that it's just too time consuming for somebody to be obsessed/driven in two very opposite areas?

forget about actors, pop music stars, pro athletes - their bodies and looks are everything in their careers, their business successes are a direct result from them.
