▶ Your Answer :
In today`s society, it is widely believed that it is better to have
friends who are similar to me. Some people advocate that, however, I disagree
with this view. I firmly believe that having friends who are dissimilar to me
can provide me a lot of valuable chances. This is because first, it accompanies
educational process, second we can share each thought, ideas, and knowledge.
First of all, having friends who are
dissimilar to me is more beneficial to me because it accompanies educational
process. To be specific, it helps me to better understand other lifestyle,
culture, and perspectives by socializing with people who have different
background, characteristics, or countries. In addition, people who have these ample
understanding are more likely to become leader or valuable member in society.
For example, Steve Jobs, who is the founder of Apple, had great accomplishments
in his life because he was able to have opportunities to meet a lot of people
who had different jobs and characteristics during his whole life. And it caused
him become more open-minded and globalized. Therefore, it is clear that having
friends who are dissimilar to me is more beneficial.
Second, I am able to have ample
opportunities to retain new knowledge and skills by sharing my thought, ideas,
and knowledge with other people. In order word, I can have chances to retain knowledge
and skills, which is unfamiliar with me, from dissimilar people and at the same
time I`m able to teach or introduce them my knowledge or skills which are not
familiar with them. For example, when I was in high school, friend of mine was
good at science but not good at math. On the other hand, I was confident in
math subject. So, we decided to teach each other about math and science
subjects after school. Finally, we were able to get high score on college
entrance exam. Through this experience, it proved to me that having dissimilar
friends provides opportunities to share their own knowledge.
All things
considered, it is my belief that my argument regarding this topic has been
effectively and precisely delivered with the reasons mentioned above. Never
should we forget.
