▶ Your Answer :
Some people
might think that people who are different in personalities or interests will
not be able to become friends. However, in my opinion, I believe that it is
possible. In addition, the difference between people can afford many valuable
advantages.
First of all,
building relationships with various people can lead you to successful life. The meaning of success has
completely changed compared to the past. If it was merely focusing on one’s own
way, now it is different. Along with your own ability, it is crucial to forming
a wide network in your life and it comes from people around you. For example,
when I was in high school, I was very passive and introverted student. I had a
lot of talent at music though, it was hard to play in front of other students.
At that time, my friends who are very active and extroverted recognized my
talent and endorsed me actively. Thanks to these friends’ support, I can apply
for a school concert audition, and I won the prize. The difference between my
friends and my personality gave me a better result.
Second, if you
only meet similar people, it is not helpful for you to gain much knowledge. It is required for people to
have a wide various of knowledge. A person with a great amount of knowledge is
regarded as ‘a person of intelligence’ in this world. On the other hand, those
who have no interest and knowledge might simply be ignored. For instance,
my sister is a dancer so most of her friends are dancers, too. Sometimes it is
nice to have many dancers around. However, my sister said to me that she often
feels a limit when talking to her friends. This is because they doesn’t know
about the issues in this world except their major. After hearing her concerns,
I found out that it is really significant to have a diverse friend.
