☆ similarity　類似点
============================
So, yesterday it was our differences that made us the same, now today we’re talking about our similarities!! Scott Peck, the author of the famous book, The Road Less Traveled, said that we should “share our similarities, celebrate our differences.” This sounds good to me!
Have you ever thought about the similarities between yourself and other Japanese people? What about the differences? What about comparing yourself to non-Japanese people to find similarities (or differences)? When you do this, do you feel more – or less – connected to other people? For me, finding similarities rather than differences helps me feel more connected, but of course, I do know that we should “celebrate our differences!” So I’ll try doing that more.
Bye,
