Who is/was the most influential person to you?

Question

Dead or alive, who has influenced you the most? And why?

Answer 1

My first best friend, Camilla.

She was one of those people who always stood up for herself 100 %.

She was colorful and original, and she dared to be who she was no matter what others said about it. Also, she was extremely loyal, and I knew I could always confide in her...

As a 15-year-old maladjusted misfit of an insecure teenager, that was exactly what I needed. She inspired me in so many ways! By looking at her, I gradually grew more confident. And today, just look at me... I think I can thank her for a lot of it, and I will never forget how our friendship changed my as a person, for the better.

Answer 6

I've had many role models.The man that INSPIRED me the most,came relatively late in my life.His example of courage had the most profound effect on how I live MY life though.He is everything I consider to be "hero",and the world doesn't even know his name.You had to be there I guess.The Soviet Union had fallen,democracy protests in China.There was an excitement in the air,that the last large communist country would also become democratic.The protests were brutally crushed,but this man,whether he lived or died,this man was FREE.

Answer 9

Jehovah and Jesus first of course. Then I love Job. He was so good. And with stood so much. Then when I was going to be baptized, I was worried. An overseers wife talked to me one day in the Kingdom Hall and she knew me all so well. She put my heart at ease and just made me see things that I didn't before. I still remember that day. And thank her. There has been many wonderful people in my life. As the Elders and one that helped me with problems just the last two years. I love Abraham, he was a friend of Jehovah's. Peter was so feisty, cut the mans ear off and Jesus healed it. There are just so many in the bible that inspire us. and lets not forget the Greatest Man that Ever Lived. Jesus Christ. He did so much on this old earth. How loving he is and was. So just think of how Jehovah is in heaven. Jesus did nothing of his own accord but that of his Father the one who sent him.
