Identity.

I think that this is a very important factor that makes up each and everyone of us here; it is what makes us unique and different from others. I feel that identity is something that is very cool. It is controlled and determined by US. We decide whom we want to be, how we want to be and so on.

As everyone is different, learning to accept and adapt to others becomes part of the life skills that we have to pick up along the way. Only by accepting others for who they are, can synergy and effective working take place. I think the best way to be able to accept and acknowledge others is through dialogues. When we go through dialogue sessions, we get to know the culture and the character of the person. Also through dialogues, it is more personal as compared to introducing or getting to know someone via msn or phone. Face to face is always better.

However, when engaged in such dialogues, we have to do it with an open mind, and being open mind is something I think we have to possess when we are in Australia. It only through this can we learn more and adapt faster when we are there.
