 We all look at the world through a particular lens. Well, not an actual lens, but we all have a different view on the world and each other. Our lens is shaped by our background, how we were raised and who we grew up with. Everything we experience on a daily basis contributes to the image we have of ourselves and others. Everyone, including you, views the world through a lens unique to them. The background and upbringing of your fellow students, sports buddies and future colleagues often differ vastly from your own. To better understand the difference between yourself and others, you have to know who you are. You must be able to reflect on your identity, to view yourself from a distance and figure out what makes you you. To better understand what makes them them. Do you want to get to know yourself and others better? Try keeping a journal for a while. For more information on developing your skills, click here.
