We all bring something precious and unique to our relationships. Learn to discover that in others, value it and learn from it.
We can't chose where we come from or how we're raised, but we can chose how to respond to the lives we're given.
We can chose to remember that attitude and effort matter more than background; although, learning about someone's background can certainly help in developing a better understanding of him or her.
Give others a chance to understand and be understood. Learn to respect what others go through without downplaying what you've been through.
We only know what we learn, so ask a million and one questions, otherwise you'll make assumptions, enforce stereotypes or ignore that which doesn't immediately affect you. You'll never know who or what you might be missing out on.
