What would you choose among these three: Intelligence, Beauty, or Wealth? and Why? If I were given a chance to choose among the three, I would choose intelligence. If I have the intelligence and I work hard using this gift, I think I could be wealthy. And since I'm wealthy, I can pay a good dermatologist that will help me enhance my appearance. I do not want a plastic surgery or lypo, I want a flawless skin! I just hate pimples and blemishes! haha! How about you?

Intelligence, Beauty, or Wealth? I am very selective in choosing. I will choose all the three but very tactfully. No 1. Wealth for me. As I have to start my second innings of the life so wreath is most important in this period. No 2. Beauty for my waiting life partner. I think beauty is most wanted by female. So I want to leave this one for her. No 3. Intelligence... for my son that comes after my marriage. In childhood intelligence is most important to deal with the learning.

Haha, that is nice. But before you have the beauty and money caused by your intelligence you still have to wait and for it hard.

I would definitely choose Intelligence because like you I know that if I have intelligence then I will create a name for myself and for sure I can make my life successful in all my endeavors. If I'm intelligent then I have the power to become rich by striving hard and pursuing my dreams and after that people around me will be very proud of me that makes me beautiful in their eyes and with that I would definitely take good care of my inner self as well as my physical appearance so I will be a goddess in their eyes,haha.

Definitely intelligence. We have the same idea that with intelligence, you can be wealthy and beautiful. I think it's very important in dealing with life. With intelligence, you can do a lot of things, things that can make you productive in life. I personally think that beauty and wealth is nothing if you do not have intelligence.

I think that you are already intelligent to choose intelligence!!! In college I went to the most expencive university of my city, and there were a lot of rich guys but with no brain, that never attended classes,but their influence made them graduate. I had a scholarship cause I was not rich but I earned my diplomas every month and had great grades and thats I pride I think its much better that having money or being pretty!!! Wich I'm not by the way, but its truth, I'll be able to get good money and a goos plastic surgery!!! If there was the option I will also choose health wich I think is very very very important to everyone, or at least it must be!!

I would say intelligence. I would rather be smart because that can lead to wealth and if you have a good mind that can give you beauty within.

I choose intelligence, when you are intellectual you have the capability to make yourself rich when you have a good job and act so smart you rise among the lower ranks into becoming a CEO of a big company with your own wit and intellectual mind. Then, the rest having a beauty they could be available for purchases and even for repetitive beauty work out or regimen as long one have money she/he could beautify her/his self.

~ Hi! I wish I was a little bit more handsome, but for me the intelligence is the most important! There are many people, who believe that the material things are always the most important to us and try to make anything posssible to have it, but never think about it, that with intelligence we can reach all our aims in live and can have all the material things we want~

yes you are right and i agree with you. intelligence is something that others cannot take away. however the material things like beauty and wealth fade away as the time goes by. thanks for the response

I would choose intelligence without a question. People tend to get further with brain power. Plus, I can easily get the wealth, if I am smart enough. I am sure I can think of some way to make money and be very prudent in saying what I make to get a decent sized fortune. The other two will only get you to a certain extent in life. Beauty fades with age. Wealth will disappear after a while, without any smarts to maintain it. Therefore, intelligence is the best way to go.

Wealth. Here is why. I am already intelligent, I have two college degrees, but it does not really help me make more money. Sometimes being intelligent can be a curse rather than a blessing. You are smart enough to be able to do well in many occupations, but narrowing it down to one can be very difficult. Also, you may be intelligent enough to become a doctor, but the prospect of having well over $100,000 in student loans may prevent you from going for it. If I were wealthy, I would be able to pursue whatever endeavors I wanted. Also, I would have more time for volunteer activities. And as others have pointed out I could use the money to make myself more attractive.

ok i get your point but still intelligence is the most important of them all. why? because you will not be able to finish your two college degrees if you are not intelligent. and as you've said, you possess intelligence. you can be wealthy using your intelligence by working hard and using your salaries wisely. always remember the saying, no pain no gain. thanks for the response. happy mylotting

Hi kyel I think most of people would choose the Intelligence.Just like you've said,if you have the intelligence and using it sufficiently you also can gain the weathy and beauty.As time goes by,beauty would disappear and it is the most unreliable.Sometimes beauty can also creat wealth but no intelligence, and with regard to wealth is the same way.I think.

i agree with you. yes, beauty can also be a way for us to be wealthy but it's not a guarantee since as we grow old, the beauty will fade. if our work is in modeling or in beauty-related industry, i think you can't compete anymore because this kind of industry prefer young-looking and beautiful people. On the other hand, if you are wealthy you should have the intelligence so you can spend your money wisely. you may invest into business or something that can gain you more. i think that's the advantage of intelligence

i would rather wealth rather than the other 2 because when i have wealth i can gain beauty and intelligence. so i would rather pick wealth. wealth can be handy sometimes now.

yes i agree that wealth can make you beautiful BUT there's no guarantee that you can gain intelligence using your wealth. it can give you good education however it does not mean that it will make you intelligent. education is NOT only the basis of intelligence. thanks for the response. happy mylotting

Intelligence because that is something that never goes away. I would give anything to be intelligent. Imagine all of the things a person could do if they were highly intelligent.

I would choose wealth first and then intelligence and then beauty. Because without wealth there is no use of beauty or intelligence.

but if you have the wealth and don't know how to use it well, then it's useless too right? you still need intelligence to be able to use your money wisely. you need this so that your money will be used for something useful. thanks for the response.

for the first I read your topic, I think that I will choose "inteligence" and I agree with your reason.But I think once again.I believe that God has given us inteligence.It depend on our parents to stimulate us when we was at early age to using the inteligence and make it growth.So,I change my choise.I choose wealth, because we can not choose it before birth.I don't really care about beauty on phisically.As you said, when we have money, we can pay dermatologist or make up our performance. There is reason for me to choose wealth, it's not about I have money to buy what I want but I can help other people who need.You know, when we give much almsgiving than God will give you more luck.

in the end you still need the intelligence so that you can spend your money wisely. with intelligence you can be more wealthy by investing to business. you need intelligence to know what business you should invest to. thanks for the response

What if God gives you all three? Very few are gifted with all three but the point is after getting the gift we should n't for get God and shouldn't be proudy .Because no matter how much beautiful, wise or wealthy one may be that one bad quality will overcome all his good points.Yes your choice is right.I too opt for intelligence.
