El dicho de la semana es:  

Hasta lo feo hermosea el deseo.

(The saying of the week is:     Even the ugly beautifies the desire.)

Have you ever really really really wanted something? Did you want it badly enough that any of the defects or downsides seemed insignificant to you? These feelings are highlighted in this week’s Argentine proverb. If you really want something, you will see it as beautiful despite its defects.

Practice saying this proverb whenever you or someone close to you has a strong desire for something.
