A person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantage. To display personal charm in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A master packager knows how to integrate art and nature without any traces of embellishment, so that the person so packaged is no commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.
　　A young person, especially a female, radiant with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a moment of doze. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to conceal the furrows ploughed by time. If you still enjoy life's exuberance enough to retain self-confidence and pursue pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your charm and grace will remain.人如商品一样需要包装，但切忌过分包装。不过只要能展示个人的独特品质，略微夸张的包装也无大碍。要想随意、自然地表现个性美，重要的是对自己有一个清晰的认识。包装的高手在于知道如何能不留痕迹地将外在的一切与自身结为一体。这时你不再是商品，而是一个活生生的人。
　　青年，尤其是女性，她们美丽四射，青春活力，这是上帝赐予的神采，任何涂抹都是多余的败笔。然而，青春在打个盹的功夫就会稍纵即逝。中年人的包装主要是隐藏岁月的磨损。如果你在中年时仍能保持生命的活力，充满自信并积极开拓，你便会显露独特的个性品质，保持你的魅力。
