Inspiration for work

Nowadays, there are many different kinds of costumes or clothes that people wear. Sometimes, they are influenced by other foreign countries. People dress up, do make up, do hair following the trend that was popular at the time. They are also inspired by famous singers and actors to be attractive and beautiful. As the Thai saying goes, “a chicken is beautiful because of its feathers, and a person is beautiful because of its dress”. However, the true beauty of a person is not a good dress but a good heart, and good manners. Manners are more important than outward beauty.
