Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Posted October 1999

Contrary to what some may think, Audrey Hepburn did not write this beautiful poem, Sam Levenson did. Levenson wrote "Time Tested Beauty Tips" for his grandchild, and it just so happened to be one of Audrey's favorite poems. She read it to her children on the very last Christmas Eve she spent with us here on Earth.

NHÖÕNG BÍ QUYEÁT SAÉC ÑEÏP

Ñeå coù ñoâi moâi quyeán ruõ , haõy noùi nhöõng lôøi töû teá.

Ñeå ñöôïc ñoâi maét yeâu kieàu, haõy bieát tìm nhöõng öu ñieåm trong moãi con ngöôøi.

Ñeå thaân hình maûnh mai, haõy chia seû thöùc aên vôùi nhöõng ngöôøi khoán khoù.

Ñeå maùi toùc möôït maø, haõy cho con treû vuoát toùc baïn moãi ngaøy.

Ñeå tìm söï  thaêng baèng, haõy böôùc cuøng vôùi kieán thöùc vaø baïn seõ chaúng bao giôø leû loi.

Hôn moïi vaät voâ tri voâ giaùc, con ngöôøi coù theå phuïc hoài, phuïc thieän, phuïc sinh. Vì theá ñöøng neân töø boû baát cöù moät ai.

Luoân nhôù raèng, neáu baïn töøng caàn ñeán moät baøn tay giuùp ñôõ, baïn seõ tìm thaáy noù ngay cuoái caùnh tay mình. Roài khi tröôûng thaønh, baïn seõ ngoä ra raèng baïn coù hai baøn tay, moät ñeå töï giuùp mình vaø moät ñeå naâng ñôõ ngöôøi khaùc.

Veû ñeïp cuûa moät phuï nöõ khoâng ôû nôi quaàn aùo, thaân hình hay nhöõng kieåu toùc. Veû ñeïp cuûa moät phuï nöõ phaûi ñöôïc tìm thaáy trong maét coâ ta, bôûi vì ñoù laø caùnh cöûa môû vaøo taâm hoàn nôi tình yeâu ngöï trò.
