My idea on choosing friends
To choose those who are different from me, or those who are similar to myself to be my friends is a question. Either way has its point.
As we can see, similar friends mean having similar characters, sharing more likes and dislikes, thus understanding each other becomes more easily. They do things together naturally and harmoniously. Therefore, they feel at ease together and everybody can have a good time.
On the other hand, if a person makes friends different from him, he gets chances to be mixed with different people and benefit from the contact with them. He can learn a lot of things that he has never experienced by himself and he can also enjoy being with them after getting familiar with each other.
To sum up, I think that it is a good idea for me to have both types of friends.
