IS YOUR NOSE UGLY?

‘Never mind if your nose is ugly as long as you can breathe through it’ (DRC)

You can easily hide your bald head, your bad eye, your colored or scattered teeth, but it may be very difficult for you to hide your ugly nose. An ugly nose is always very easy to notice when people glance at your face because it occupies a very strategic position (central). Except in some special cases, people generally believe that the shape of your nose determines how beautiful your face looks or how beautiful you are.

However, our ancestors believe that the shape or structure of someone’s nose is not essential in life as long as the person can breathe freely through the nose. Just as every creature on earth do not serve only one purpose, so also are the organs of our body. There is no part of your body that has only one function. For example, your head is the upper part of your body that serves as a frame in which your hair, ears, eyes, nose and lips are properly fixed. It also serves as a container of the brain. But as significant as human head is, it can never ever do without a nose. Imagine a head with blocked nostrils…I’m sure you can only find such in the coffin or mortuary.

So, apart from facial beautification, your nose may be used for other beautiful purposes in life. Instead of you to concentrate on its ugly structure, it is better for you to appreciate the invaluable gift of respiration. There are many people with beautiful noses who struggle to breathe in hospitals today. No matter how beautiful your nose is, it can never guarantee life. Instead of complaining about your ugly nose or considering surgery, it is better for you to focus on what you can do with the beautiful breathe of life that you have got from the ugly nose. If you can’t change your nose, you can definitely do something that can change the lives of many people.

Also, your ugly nose may be any form of deformity or obvious abnormality in your body (i.e. not exactly your nose). Your body structure does not determine your success in life. The most beautiful or handsome people are not usually the most successful businessmen, powerful leaders or outstanding people in their career. Even in most cases, the genuinely beautiful people are not the ones that wear the crown in several beauty pageants.

Whatever you divert your attention on is what will attract other people’s attention to you. If your weakness or shortcoming is what bothers you most in life, you will definitely attract people who will see you as a weak and disable person. Focus on your strength and your center of attraction, showcase your selling point and project it beyond every measure. If you are not proud of yourself, no one will be proud of you; your family won’t, your friend won’t and your society may not even recognize you.

Show the world what you want them to see in you, feed them thoroughly with it every day until they get engrossed and obsessed with it. If you ignore your bald head, the bad eye, colored teeth, bad leg, bad breath, skin color, flat chest, shapeless buttocks, boyish manhood, etc…no one will focus on it.

Remember, it doesn’t matter if your nose is ugly as long as you can breathe through it.
