Some
people think that it is better to have friends who are similar to us than those
who are different from us. However, in my opinion, having friends who are different
from us can give a lot of advantages to us. There are several reasons and
examples as follows.
To
begin with, playing with friends who are different from us can give me more fun
than meeting with people who experienced same thing with me can do. This is
because, I can indirectly enjoy their experiences. For example, because I was
too shy and timid, I have never been to foreign before. On the other hand, my
friend who is brave enough has a lot of trip like Tibet, India and Europe. Also,
she has many friends from many countries. When I had a talk with her, I could
listen her splendid stories during the trips and this was very exciting also gave
me a brave to travel myself. Additionally, meeting with her other foreign friends,
I could become to enjoy being with foreigners.
On
top of that, having variety kinds of friends can make one’s sight much broader.
If we always meet people just like us, then our sights will be fixed in our
world. For example, my professor highly recommended to students that they should
participate in the exchange student programs. He said that meeting with various
people whose backgrounds are totally different from us and being friends of
them, students can understand their cultures as well as they can raise the
language skill. And the ability to understand other culture will make students
to do well at the society. As the society is much bigger than the university, there
are many kinds of people in that and the ability is necessary to survive.
To
sum up, the fun that can be obtained from being with people who are not similar
to us and the broader sights make it much valuable to have a relationship with
them much valuable. For this regarding, I feel that we should not take a
distance with people who are not same with us.
