Keep in Mind
In dealing with others, we must recognize that we are all different

from one another. Though we may have similarities in terms of
preferences, taste, physical appearance, style and many more, we still
have our distinctions and uniqueness which make us special in different
ways.
Our individuality comes with our unique attributes and
characteristics. Some can easily be seen physically while some can be
manifested through actions and behavior which may indicate values and
personalities.
There is harmony in diversity and we can all keep it that way if we
learn to accept one another as we are.
There are healthy ways to deal with our individual differences
which would work for everyone’s advantage. Here are some:
a. Accept that we are all different. Don’t assume that your preferences
would always be the same as those of your peers or friends. Of course
there are similarities among you but all have different stories to tell that
affect the way you see things. You may have different beliefs, culture,
values, and even interest, and you cannot force anybody to be exactly
the same as you. Remember, even twins have differences.
b. Use your similarities with other people to strike a harmonious
relationship with them. While you acknowledge that people are
different from another, there are also commonalities which you may
take advantage to establish positive relationship with them. At this point
in time, you might have found the right people who can
be your good friends, who can inspire you to strive
harder, and who can be your role model.

c. Be open-minded with others. You can always learn from the
experiences of your friends and peers and they can also do the same
with you. The manner they overcome life challenges and how they
impact their living could be your insights to improve your lifestyle or
even the way you see things around you. You can also learn from their
culture, traditions and values.
d. Try to consider where others are coming from. Your family set-up
may be different from what your friends have. People might have grown
up in a province or in a highly urbanized city. There are those who have
a complete set of parents and those that have a single parent or no
parents at all. Additionally, people have different childhood
experiences which greatly affect their attitude and personality now.
There are also those who struggle financially and those who are well
off. Keep in mind that people are coming from different backgrounds
and they act, decide and make choices based on those things.
e. If your differences with others are getting in the way, try to have a
common ground. You cannot impose your beliefs, values and culture
to others, the same way that they cannot do that to you. However,
instead of trying to prove who’s better and who’s not, you may want to
find an area where you can both improve yourself while learning from
each other. There are differences that are worthy to talk and celebrate,
and there are those that we just accept unconditionally just like in the
second item. There’s no point in comparing people as each of us have
our own potentials and abilities.
Always remember that you co-exist with others. There are things
that you cannot control like the people around you but you can always
manage the way you deal with them. The choice is always with you, either
you make the most out of those individual differences and have a happy
life or you make that as your limitations.
