Celebrating Our Individual Differences

All of us are the same in the sense that we are all human beings. However, each of us are unique
in the sense that no person is alike. We may have the same interests with another person whom
we know, but there are still factors from which we differ from one another. How would we
manage to deal with others' differences? How would we understand their differences without
creating any conflict? The answer is simple. Celebrate. We should celebrate our individual
differences.

In order to celebrate our diversity, we should first recognize and acknowledge each and
everyone’s differences. After recognizing that diversity does exist, we should then accept it
whole-heartedly. Knowing that a person is different and accepting his differences is the first
thing. The next would be to understand why such a difference exists. Do not do something that
could offend a person’s differences. But rather do something that could boost his or her self-
esteem. Think about ways that could enhance or develop the person’s skills and talents.

Who could have known if said individual difference is the person’s strength? Explore and
enhance. Celebrate and be kind!
