When most people think of "beautiful", they think of movie stars. I used to be one of them. But now my opinion of beauty has completely changed.
I was with my parents and little brothers at the McDonald's (麦当劳). Because there are only tables with four chairs, I'm always the one to sit at a nearby table by myself. Usually, I'm a little unhappy, but not this time.
A woman was sitting at a table, two tables away. She was young and pretty, not the traditional (传统的) beauty, but a warm one. She had thick dark-brown hair and wore common clothes, but none of those was why she was so beautiful to me.
Her children spread the ice-cream all over their clothes, and she just kissed them and that's all. She didn't get angry. The love and warmth this woman generated (产生) completely changed my view of beauty. She generated warmth like the sun, and her children were little planets (行星) around her.
She made a difference to her children's lives. Instead of making them feel bad about themselves, she made them feel great about everything. That is true beauty: to make a positive (积极的) difference to others' life through warmth and caring.
