Do people whom you meet everyday , influence you in anyway?

We meet many kinds of people daily , dou you think they have any influence on you , or you do not pick up any qualities from them . I personally meet people from the poorest family to the richest , because my work is councelling them , but i never pick up the bad qualities from them ! Do you think even you remain unchanged?

I don't think people i get influence from people i meet for very short periods of time. It takes a little more time for people to have any cind of influence on me, of course there exists exceptions but in general it takes some time.

Well this is turning into a serious discussion! i think you are right , its upon his own choice , no influence from the smoker right , is that what you are trying to say?

what i mean is that you can be influenced by many but in the end its only youself that can take the step. I also mean that just because you have a certain occupashion doesn't automaticly mean something. My ancestors were vikings but that doesnt mean i own a longboat that i use to plunder and pillage villages and monasteries. I see no problem to have a serious discussion, as long as we dont practise name calling and trying to drag eachother in the dirt.
