My mother she was a great person she wanted us to go by peoples morals not by how rich or poor they were because good people come from all places .To keep our word to not lie that our word is very important because a persons name is only as good as their word .To try to forgive others best we can .To put our selves in others shoes .I try to live as she taught at times I fail at times people misunderstand what I am saying but I try my best .

Thank you for sharing with us. I been influenced by many. However, My Mother taught me how to stand up be strong and assertive, She taught me not to show signs of weakness when around threatening people, and taught me how to strongly hold my ground, and how to be a strong willed activist. She forces me to stand up to her, when I do not want to. I vent alot as sometimes I feel like she did more harm than good at times, but I know in the long run she means well, and she is a good mother, She is the drill seargant kind of mother. And will help you get your ducks all in a row, and is a threat to packrats lol. :) . - DNatureofDTrain

My parent and my father-in-law had great influence in my life. They had been helping on my life. Not everything you do will be the result you want. In career, everybody had their strength and weaknesses. Thus, always try to help one another among your peers and subordinate and superior too! For children, they are still kids, be patience and nurture them. Give them both the best and worst so they able to distinguish and differentiate what is great and what is sad or bad. Well, there is much more than that. I am happy that I have them as my mentor or parent or in-law.
