Are You a Class Act?
Some folks define the term classy as someone who’s elegant or fashionable. The truth is, people aren’t classy just because they drive an expensive car, follow the latest trends, or wear the latest fashion. Being a class act isn’t about how much money you have or whether you have a strong pedigree. Being a class act is more about who you are and what you do rather than what you own or who you pretend to be. The fact is, while having material possessions and being stylish make you look appealing on the surface, “real beauty is more than skin deep.”
