Yang Cakep ... Yang Sukses
Hidup memang nggak adil, secara rata-rata yang jelek mendapat gaji yang lebih rendah, yang cakep dapet gaji lebih tinggi. Fakta ini sudah diuji untuk berbagai profesi dan negara .
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder? ... preeetttt

From The Economist print edition
The ugly are one of the few groups against whom it is still legal to discriminate. Unfortunately for them, there are good reasons why beauty and success go hand in hand
IMAGINE you have two candidates for a job. They are both of the same sex—and that sex is the one your own proclivities incline you to find attractive. Their CVs are equally good, and they both give good interview. You cannot help noticing, though, that one is pug-ugly and the other is handsome. Are you swayed by their appearance?
Perhaps not. But lesser, less-moral mortals might be. If appearance did not count, why would people dress up for such interviews—even if the job they are hoping to get is dressed down? And job interviews are turning points in life. If beauty sways interviewers, the beautiful will, by and large, have more successful careers than the ugly—even in careers for which beauty is not a necessary qualification.
If you were swayed by someone's looks, however, would that be wrong? In a society that eschews prejudice, favouring the beautiful seems about as shallow as you can get. But it was not always thus. In the past, people often equated beauty with virtue and ugliness with vice.
Even now, the expression “as ugly as sin” has not quite passed from the language. There is, of course, the equally famous expression “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, to counter it. But the subtext of that old saw, that beauty is arbitrary, is wrong. Most beholders agree what is beautiful—and modern biology suggests there is a good reason for that agreement. Biology also suggests that beauty may, indeed, be a good rule of thumb for assessing someone of either sex. Not an infallible one, and certainly no substitute for an in-depth investigation. But, nevertheless, an instinctive one, and one that is bound to redound to the advantage of the physically well endowed.

Just over a decade ago Dr Hamermesh presided over a series of surveys in the United States and Canada which showed that when all other things are taken into account, ugly people earn less than average incomes, while beautiful people earn more than the average. The ugliness “penalty” for men was -9% while the beauty premium was +5%. For women, perhaps surprisingly considering popular prejudices about the sexes, the effect was less: the ugliness penalty was -6% while the beauty premium was +4%.
Since then, he has gone on to measure these effects in other places. In China, ugliness is penalised more in women, but beauty is more rewarded. The figures for men in Shanghai are –25% and +3%; for women they are –31% and +10%. In Britain, ugly men do worse than ugly women (-18% as against -11%) but the beauty premium is the same for both (and only +1%).

SAVOR THE COFFEE
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, were talking at a
reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired.
During their visit the conversation soon turned into complaints about stress
in their work and lives.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned
with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups- porcelain, plastic,
glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite, telling
them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the alumni had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
“Notice that all of the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving
behind the plain and cheap ones. While it normal for you to want only the
best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be
assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it
is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously
went for the best cups…and then you began eyeing each other’s cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee; your job, money, and position in
society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life.
The type of cup one has does not define, nor change the quality of Life a
person lives. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy
the coffee God has provided us.”
God makes the coffee, man chooses the cups. The happiest people don’t have
the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Enjoy your coffee!
