Diversity v Homogeneity

We're more likely to learn from diversity than we are from homogeneity - Seth Godin.

If we only mix with people who are 'like us' then how will we ever learn new things? It is only when we spend time with people who are different - in race, culture, gender, sexuality, career, whatever - that we expand our understanding. There can be a wariness, even fear, of that which we don't understand. When we take the time to gain understanding, we enlarge our hearts.
