I would like to know who you think are the people that made you who you are. Who shaped you, who was the person that made it "click" for certain things? My own list is rather short.

A guy I met during school, his name is Martin. He personified the "Fuck You" attitude. He teached me to stop caring, stop being a goddamn pussy. I learned to put myself first and stop caring what others think.

A guy I met on the internet. You may know his handle, he is active here on TL.net, but I think he prefers to stay anonymous. He provided me with lots of informations where to start looking for information on many things that I had interest in. He also was nice enough to listen despite his own problems.

Another guy I met online and formed a good reallife friendship with. He basically opened my eyes. After listening to his story I realized that the only problems I have are the ones I create in my own mind. To make it short: he came as kid in our country, had some troubles with the police, and now he is married, has a good and respected job, has a house and two children.

Who was most influential in your life? Who helped you to develop as a person? Your parents? Your friends? Total strangers?

Myself.
parents never really did much to shape me, just supported whatever i did.
didn't have many friends till half way through high school so not them
mostly just my own thoughts and perceptsion

Sounds like he really made you a better person.


As for me, I guess it would have to be:

1. Parents-->set of example of education being high priority and frugality (almost stinginess) with money
2. Older brother-->largely influenced my sense of humor. The things he found funny kind of determined my sense of humor as a small child.
3. Wife-->introduced me to anime, cheese as a main course, and silliness as a virtue.

Surprisingly I can't think of any major influence from my friends. I was more of a leader I guess among my friends and didn't do much following.

I guess for me, I'm a role model for everyone else so I wouldn't know.

Some friends come to mind though. Some of their attitude rubbed off

Mom and Dad: instilled proper values and priotized educational success and extracurricular involvement. Prohibited me from doing things that they thought would have unnecessary negative influence.

Sister: provided additional perspective on issues that my parents could never look at objectively

Teachers: had many very good teachers who all contributed in their own ways

Dane Cook taught me about comedy.

My older brother had a huge impact on who I was when I was younger and that definitely shaped who I am today. He was definitely the biggest influence in the first 15 or so years of my life.

My dad influenced me a lot as well. My dad showed me how to work hard.

A few of my friends have also influenced who I am.

Lastly, is myself. My values and beliefs who all shaped by my own opinions and experiences in life. My parents never told me what to believe and allowed me to take the world in on my own and develop my own opinions and values.

I think everyone makes who you are, even people you don't even know. It just all happens subconsciously and slowly

I dont really know who shaped me, but one of them was definitly Jaedong. his desire to win, his motivation and everything else that goes along with his great personality made me who I am. I learned to give my best in everything i did, even when I ate or something bizarre. That helped me a great deal and i started to achieve things i could only dream before. Basically he taught me the hardwork. And yea you all mentioned not to be pussies, I learned it from him too, duinno how but he is the ''badass'' genie im my mind
I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.
