A person like a commodity(商品) needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) however does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment(装饰) so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being lively and lovely.
A young person especially a female shining 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 flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work you are unique in your natural qualities and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains mountains and jungles running its course as it should. You have really lived your life which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snowcapped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony(和谐) with nature for harmony itself is beauty while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality) edition which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it.
As long as one finds where one stands one knows how to package oneself just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.
