I have been influenced by so many people but I honestly think my soccer coach was one of my biggest influences. He taught me so many things on and off the soccer field. I have used his teachings throughout my adult life in many different ways. Sportsmanship, tolerance, teamwork, dedication, work ethic, patience, exercise and health. These are major parts of my life now and I am often amazed at his teachings coming back to me on a regular basis.
What about you? Who has been your major influence? What have you learned from that person?

Hi, i can say very honest that person who influence my all life was my father; he are dieing years ago, but he was my "idol", even i am woman.
Is hard to believe but i were in special relation with my father, i don t know why, he was somebody who make evrything for me, i was his little princces. Is strange, he was not my real father, my real father die when i was just 4 years old. But if somebody ask me who was my father, for sure i will answer that my step father was my father.
I remember that he teach me everything what i know about life, about how a woman must to be, how a mother must to love shes kids.
Is strange too, that he had 2 kids with my mother, but always, he love me more, and now after so many years they don t like me, and invy me just because he love me more. any way, is a long tory..and is so strange...not all time blood relations are to much stronger

What a wonderful relationship you had with your father. My step father was a big influence on me as well. He was a great man. I used to say, "anybody can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad!"

I think my father influenced me the most and I really want to be like my father. The truthfulness and sincererity as an idol want to be with me. The innocence and simpleness also adds the sinerio.
