BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR CHOICE - WEEK 5

BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR CHOICE - WEEK 5

Today we're going to talk about relating or not relating to the person we are reading about. Sometimes we pick up a biography about a person because we share common specific interests or beliefs. Sometimes we can relate through a broad topic like sports. Maybe they love football when we like basketball, but the passion is still there. Maybe you can relate in their upbringing, education, desire to help others, etc. Typically, we can find a way to relate in some form.

However, usually, there is an area we can't relate to. The same list I gave of how you could relate can be applied in not relating. Can I suggest that there is value in not relating? By not relating you can learn about something you knew nothing about. It can also cause us to make decisions that we will never do something, because we saw what happened to someone else as a result. I hope this makes sense!

So how do you relate and not relate to the person you have been reading about?
