［参考范文］
When we retrospect(回顾) how our knowledge and thoughts have come into being, we will easily find that, besides those we have learned from schools, we are always imitating and learning from other’s, who are mainly parents, friends and those we respect rather than those we hate, disgust or comtempt. It’s always easy for us to learn much more from those whose views we share than from those whose views contradict ours.

On the one hand, disagreement always arouse stress and enimity. When two persons or two groups cannot achieve agreement on some subject, what succeed is always a hot dispute. The two parts stick to their own point of view and trying vainly to convince the other that they are totally wrong. However, the two parts are always putting to much emphasis on defeat the other, while having no time or no will to staidly analysis the other’s point of view and to learn from it.

On the other hand, when we share views with someone, we are always satisfied and enlightened. So we are ready to listen to others carefully. When we find our views have some subtle differences compared with others, we are likely to think over it: Am I right? Why there are differences? How did the other’s view come into being?  Or am I not open-minded enough to accept new ideas? Such kind of comparison and introspect help us to correct our thoughts and thus help us in learning to be more mature and wise.

However, if we only learn from those whose views are shared by us, we are in dangere that our minds and thoughts will be narrower and narrower, since we never accept views deviated from ours. Such kind of self-confident tampers our progress in studying rather than help us. People are always thinking they themselves are the most correct while others are more or less wrong if the views are not congruent. But if we can rationally analysis those views which are faraway from ours, we have the chance to explore a totally new world filled with inspiring thoughts. What is important is not whether those different views are right or wrong, it is crucial how others achieve such kind of views. By meditating on these, we may open new ways to our minds and thus become more open-minded and fair.

In sum, it’s from those who we share views with that we are improved, while from those who we contradict views with that we get chances to avoid a dead-end or narrower pathes of thoughts
