its own. People always say that, "Opposite, attracts". Friends who are different from us 
would be able to criticize and introduce us to something new and different. I realize that 
friends who are different from us would be able to criticize on our opinion. Of course, not 
all of our opinions are good. Hence, having a friend with an opposite thought would 
provide us with a different view on a certain matter. I have been a friend with Nina for 
almost 5 years now. Despite of our differences in characteristic, Nina and I have never 
fight during our friendship. In fact, it was Nina who introduce me to things that I have 
never done before such as jungle tracking and eating sushi. Even though, neither jungle 
tracking nor sushi would be in my favorite list, it is fun and enjoyable to be able to 
experience such new things. Therefore, I believe that having friends who are different from 
us can provide us with unexpected experience in life.
