About This Quote
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. In the course of our lives, we often encounter people who have very different personalities from us. We may wonder how it is possible for two people with such disparate personalities to be so good friends. The answer lies in a state of mind that allows us to embrace a person’s differences and see them as something that makes him unique and special.
