Different friends or similar friend8

Different friends or similar friends?
When we choose friends, they can have personalities similar to ours
or can be completely different from us. If people are similar to us,
the mutual cooperation can be an important advantage. If people are
different from us, we will see the advantages in the
complementation. In this essay, I will compare the advantages of
having the two kinds of friends.
On one hand, if our friends have personality similar to ours, they
empower our skills. In fact, if one friend is similar to us, when we
are together, we become stronger, particularly in the way in which
we are similar. Two people, who have similar characteristics of
personality and undertake something together, have more chances to
be successful, especially in those activities that require the
characteristics in common to them.
On the other hand, if our friends are rather different in personality,
they will increase our possibilities of success in those activities in
which we need to complement with each other. In fact, when we
only have a part of the skills needed to perform a work, we need
some help and cooperation from a friend who probably is different
from us, but can provide those skills that we fail to have.
Summarizing, not only friends who are different from us improve
our results in any matter by complementing our skills, but also
friends who are similar to us raise our chances of success.
Personally, I prefer friends who resemble me because I get along
with them instantaneously. Besides, I am the kind of person who
feels better in a friendly environment. Thereby although I could get
some benefits from a person different from me, I strongly prefer
having near a person similar to me with whom, I know, I will have
less problems and differences when we share a while.
