Never settle for having only a brilliant mind.

How you physically look to others should be brilliant as well. This entails your body, the food you eat, your habits, your wardrobe, your hairstyle, and your jewelry. Yes, even your cologne. I believe that it keeps you alive longer.

Posting this because I recently learned that an old professor suddenly passed away. He was one of my readers at UST Publishing House. He had a sharp mind and was himself an incisive writer. He was, to me anyway, rather dowdy, if not shabby, and didn't seem to care how he looked like.
