To Every Girl: Don't Just Be Pretty, Be Powerful

Your beauty will open doors, that is true. It is a powerful weapon.

But if beauty is all you have, this world will break you. You need more in your arsenal.

Never believe the lie that women are the weaker sex. A woman is as strong as a man — sometimes even stronger.

Open your eyes. Be vigilant. This world is full of predators waiting for a naive girl. Be wise enough to know the difference between flattery and genuine love. Not every man who says "I love you" means it.

Learn to stand on your own two feet. Make your own money. Build your own life. No man wants a liability. When you depend on a man for everything, you give him the power to use you and leave you.

The Bible says a virtuous woman builds her home. You cannot build anything if you are foolish.

So be beautiful, yes — but let your beauty be backed by brains, strength, independence, and wisdom.
