Whao peeps,I was so touched when I read this story and I can not but share it with someone out there who feels that he or she is not complete in one way or the other.common snap out of that thought and make the best use of that inner beauty that the Almighty has deposited in you.........Its in youuuuuuuu!
Tagged as "it" and "monster" in high school, Lizzie Velasquez was dubbed the "world's ugliest woman" in an 8-second-long YouTube video.Born with a medical condition so rare that just two other people in the world are thought to have it, Velasquez has no adipose tissue and cannot create muscle, store energy, or gain weight. She has zero percent body fat and weighs just 60 pounds.

In the comments on YouTube, viewers called her all sorts of names and encouraged her to kill herself.
Instead, Velasquez set four goals,for herself which were: to become a motivational speaker, to publish a book, to graduate college, to build a family and a career for herself.
Now 23 years old, she's been a motivational speaker for seven years and has given more than 200 workshops on embracing uniqueness, dealing with bullies, and overcoming obstacles.
She's a senior majoring in Communications at Texas State University in San Marcos, where she lives with her best friend. Her first book, "Lizzie Beautiful," came out in 2010 and her second, "Be Beautiful, Be You,"was published earlier this month.
Now,Lizzies has learnt to embracethe things that make her unique.
Instead of trying to retaliate against people who have made her feel badly, she sets goals for herself and pushes herself to succeed in spite of the haters.
She's even reclaimed YouTube, video blogging about everything from bullying to hair-styling tips to staying positive.
So guys,what are those features in you that you think makes you ugly.........its time to take a cue from our dear Lizzie and adorn yourselve with what set you apart rather than paying so much attention to trivial things that makes you feel depressed...................
Be beautiful and be youuuuuu
