Maybe if we'll be asked by this question, we'll try to figure out who really is the most influential person in our life. We even think if it is our mother or our father. Or best friend, teachers, relatives, or just a stranger. When I was asked by this question, I tried to think who did influence me of what am today and I can't figure out anyone. I wonder why. I have red this article about the Most Influential Person in Your Life by Charles Chi. He mentioned in that article that, there's no other person that mostly influence you of being who you are today but ONLY YOU. According to him "It"s true that no one can make a truly GREAT success of themselves without the help and support of many other people. But one of the great ironies of life is that while you need many other people to rise to great heights you can fail perfectly well all by yourself" For me its true, in time of our ups, we have lots of friends who's there with us but every time we fall down, few of them were left or worst, none would be there to stand with you at all. Do you believe that there's no one most influential person in you life but YOU?

Yes, I do agree, it is "Me", just "I". But that "I" have no experience of this world when "I" was born. "I" had to follow some paths, some teachings. So, there were many people who influenced "I". And, one of them was "My Teacher" at school, and I always remember him. Thank you for asking this question !

My mom influenced me a lot when she was still living but my husband has the biggest influence in my life. I've learned a lot from him but then I have to admit that I realized more who I really am as a person with his influences.
