who has a greater influence over you ? mother or father ?

Well, my father had a greater influence than my mom. My mom went to a far place to work when I was just 4 years old. So, every step I took was really guided by my dad. He taught me everything especially the household tasks. I even knew how to wash my clothes when I was just 5. It was really fun. I never complained because I know it's for my own good though. In terms of principles, my father remains very influential. He shared his secrets on how to survive life. Life is cruel sometimes so we have to face it with convinction and zeal. He also taught me how to be outgoing with my friends. I loved it when he taught me the importance of money. Due to that, I became very thrifty and wise in spending my money. My father has imparted me a lot of his knowledge in this world. And I'm very proud for that.

For me, my mother. She was struggling for me until this day. I was born with a disease that usually occured in babies. And doctor said that i needed to be cured in early years, because it will be too late if i get older. My family did not have money to do the operation, so my dad was planning on giving it up. But my mom was not. She convinced my dad to have the operation no matter what the cost was. So i was into operation on 3 months old, and it was succeeded. Even until now, my mother is the biggest supporter for everything that i choose in my life. My dad is my supporter too, but mom is the only one that always have positive ways in looking problems. My family bussiness have always been in ups and downs for quite several years, and mom always the first one to looking those down times in positive ways. So she absolutely influence me, because i valued her opinions and her positive thinking.

My Dad was THE major influence in my life. We were and still are extremely close. From him, I got my gift of gab, my love of movies, my sense of fair play, my love for the water, my love of amusement parks, my sense of humor, and my positive outlook in life. My Dad spend countless hours with me. He took me everywhere. He always spoke to me like an adult; like a person -- never like a child. He was never condescending to me. Never raised his voice. He was and is a wonderful father and a true example of what is good and right in a man.My father has always been there for me and loved me more than live itself! I also know I was his favorite. I feared him though, I would not dare smoke or drink or any of that out of fear of disappointing him!

Hope for everybody mother. Upto me its' mother. The way she gave me the thrust towards the life is that nobody can imagine.

My mother has influenced me most. She loves to read and whenever we have conversations, she always share to me and to others whatever she had read. And I just learn from it.
