Everyone will have a chance to learn something from someone or something and it will change us a lot. One person who influenced me a lot was my teacher “Anna Chang” who taught me the meaning of compromising with others.
I recall when I was a junior college student, I quarreled with my classmate over trivial details. Because of our stubborn and opinionated personalities, we both refused to compromise with each other. Afterwards, we hadn't talked to each other for whole summer semester. With the passing of time, I felt very depressed and painful. Therefore, I decided to ask Anna what I should do.
Anna told me, “In one sense, compromise doesn't necessary mean that you give up your principle. In other words, it can produce more harmony and reduce the hostility in your relationship between people.”
After listening to her words, I decided to compromise with my friend and apologize for my impulsive action. To my surprise, she also said sorry to me. Even now, we are still best friends. Anna changed my thinking of compromise, though I haven’t seen her for a long time, I still remember her very much.
