Appearance is a person's physical look. It is important to everyone of us. How a person's appearance will sometimes affect your chances of getting something. For example : if you look ugly, most likely you won't be able to get a job as nurse or attendant.
Knowledge is expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education. So, it stands an very important role for human to survive nowadays.
Money, you can do anything if you have it enough.
Which will you choose and why ?

The three are all important. I think it is just a matter of what comes as our priority. Knowledge would be foremost because it can't easily be taken away from us. With knowledge, it would be easily to improve on our appearance and we will be equipped with skills that we can be used to earn a living.

It depends what is meant by the value of 'knowledge' in this discussion. For example I have a university degree and some life experience which would equate to a fair amount of knowledge but, as yet, I am not in a high paying position. As for looks, I think I would say that a positive attitude is more important than having good looks because you can become more successful and gain more money more easily with a positive attitude and a drive for ambition.
So it would seem then, that knowledge combined with a lot of life experience combined with the will to succeed could make a good recipe for success.

I'd choose knowledge. You can make money with knowledge and when someone needs help, I think they'd go with someone who knows what they're doing rather than someone who only looks good.
And, um, about looking good? Since when can't an ugly person get a job as a nurse? We are talking about the people who work in hospitals with patients and aren't doctors, right? Those nurses? Because I'm wondering exactly where is it that people aren't hired for nursing because they don't look good. Have I been going to the wrong hospitals? I've seen pretty ones, average ones, and ugly ones. I can think of jobs where your looks matter, but I can't imagine any hospital or sick person turning down someone because they're ugly.

Things always have exceptional. I mean ugly look always have slimmer chance compare to a beauty one. Don't you think that this is true ? Especially for those jobs that need less knowledge or anybody can do, always better chance for good looking one.

Well, I will say this: if you have good looks, an education, and money, the world is your's to command. If you are not so good looking, don't have an education or much of an education, and you have little or no money, then you really don't get much of anything in life. Some people have everything, some people have little, and some people have nothing at all. That's how life is.

Definitely will affect a person in a way or others if lack of anyone of it. Those without it has to put more efforts than others to achieving the goal of life. So, there is where perseverance and determination come into place.

It is a very tricky question and I prefer to be very intelligent, then I can get more money while working or doing a business and which that money instead of going to do plastic surgery I would help others because appearance is not important at all to it!

You are definitely a good decision maker. I agree with your point that human needs to have knowledge and from there we can slowly change the imperfect part of our life. It is very logical as well if we have good knowledge, we could have get a high pay job to earn money. With the money, we can easily make oneself look good with the advance of the medical surgery today.

No one is perfect. There is few people who can own a good-looking appearance, broad knowledge and piles of money all.
Compared to knowledge and money, I think appearance is less important. The person who has a beautiful heart can be called a beauty. And chaning someone's appearance is so easy if he/she wants to and have enough money.
In my opinion, the broad knowledge is the most important one among the three. Without any knowledge, you cannot possible make something big. But with it, there are great posibilities. Knowledge can change one's life. If you're poor, it can bring you fortunate.

I will choose knowledge. Because with it I can find out the way to gain money, and of course, find out the way to deal with my appearance. If you only have appearance without knowledge or money, you will get ugly very soon. Only have money without appearance and knowledge? Believe me, someone will use you eventually!

A tricky question...
Anyhow i go for the Knowledge and the money..
Appearances are often deceptive..
Knowledge is Wealth...
I would like to have more knowledge and skills, as i have a little of them, i would like to gain more knowledge..
Knowledge leads to gain money..
One thing leads to the other!!

They say today is the world of information ....hence i will choose knowledge ... knowledge can be converted to money ... or for that matter almost anything that we want to achieve in life ... knowledge about how to dress up how to behave ... which hair cut suits us ... change our physical looks ...
So for me knowledge is my first choice :)
