I think it was my dad, since I was little, he used to talk a lot to me,about different things which I always found interesting... starting with religion, science fiction, life,relationships, foreign languages,music..etc. He always had quizes for me, word games, or he always asked me: do you know how this thing is called in english?or in french?...and he told me the word in the specific language. He also sang to me a lot, the music that he liked, and explained the lyrics to me. I think he helped me a lot in improving or developing my speaking skills, expressing myself, he has put my brain to work, and find the logic in things ,and always be curiouse about what and how and when and why?.. and I am not speaking about the neighbours or something,but about the things around us. My mother tried too ,but she didn't have his story telling skills,and his patience,and his talent in making me want to listen or speak to him for hours....we used to talk till late at night. Even now if we meet for a coffee we spend hours talking.

My mum was the most influential and most important person to me she gave me breath and some wisedom, she let me choose my path of life although she knew I would falter she never once said 'I told you so' in her last days on this earth I told her many things that I felt she should know, again she told me to 'go and live my life and have a good life'. I know shes with me every day and shes guiding me. I'm just getting to know my dad even at this late stage in his life and I realise how much we missed out on eachothers lives with one thing and another, All I can do now is listen and learn as much as I can from him for as long as I have him here.I know all are not as lucky as me in having good parents, treasure them while there there, they cant be replaced once gone. Blessed be

Hello friend. It is my mom that is the most influential person in my life. My mom is so more caring to us kids though I love both my mom and dad. I appreciate their bringing me up and offering me good education at college. Now my parents live happily in their own house.

My daughter! Definitely, my daughter is the most influential person in my life. And you might not imagine that a person could learn anything from their child. But I have learned patience, tolerance, infinite love, compassion and so much more! She has made me a better person. She is the reason that I get up in the morning. Without her I'd still be some loser moping around and wondering when my life was going to take off. She's a big motivator for me!

the most influential person in my life is my mom, not only does she give me her unconditional love but also forgives me whatever mistakes i did in the past. she was always there whenever i need her and its either financial or whatever purpose! She gives me advice that i times i dont follow but in the end she is always right...and she keeps on showing me as well as telling me to be the best mother to my kids as well...
