Memorable Passage

“She doesn't have a ring on each finger, or a big diamond on each ring. 
She doesn't wear a gold watch that costs as much as a fancy car. 
In fact, she doesn't own a fancy car. 
She doesn't carry an enormous designer bag. 
But she might have a newspaper under her arm. 
She might mention Sartre or Foucault in a conversation. 
It's her personality that sparkles and nothing else: the signs of intellectual wealth.” 
-How to be Parisian Wherever You are

I love this passage and it always sticks in my head, because it talks about how material items are not important. It's about what's on the inside. I know the theme of this passage is kinda cliche but the way it is said makes it so elegant. talking about how she doesn't have all of these fancy things, she doesn't have the nicest car, or the most money, but she has a shining personality and that is all that matters. She is wealthy in knowledge and happiness. She doesn't need to have all the material things. 

To me personality is very important. You can have all of those things mentioned in the passage but if you don't have a good personality then it's not worth it. Personalities are what make a person. They shape you and those who are around you. Surround yourself with people who also have good personalities because they will help transform your personality for the better. This passage has always stuck with me because it relates to my morals. I believe that before material things, personality should always come through.
