“Ugly Ducklings” Share Their Transformations and They are Hardly Recognizable


Growing up can be really stressful and weird sometimes. Your body is still developing and may be covered in spots. Our fashion awareness may be just right for our bad posture. Sometimes, the embarrassment does not stop with the advent of our teenage years and this situation can continue into your twenties and thirties, too.However, over the years, some people have undergone incredible changes. Starting from the “ugly duckling”, they have become beautiful swans that almost no one can recognize. One of the places they share their `before and after` photos is the ‘Ugly Duckling’ subreddit. Do not forget to check the subreddit for more photos.

Everybody knows that being a good person is more important than having an amazing look. However, if given the opportunity, many people will choose both. (h/t: Jonas & Greta)

“There is one way to become precocious, but there are countless ways to become precocious.

He added that although society tends to celebrate child prodigies, early blooming does not guarantee that you will continue to succeed. Dedication, hard work, and progressive achievement of goals are as important (or even more important) as talent.
