I mean, fro any close person or not ...so when they say something and tell you what to do...you accept that as a granted and don't think so much?

A good question, and one that I can answer by telling you that it was not just a single person that influenced me to become the person I am today.It actually was a group of people whom I had to learn from who taught me the ins and outs of life.
Learning from many sorts of people,from all walks of life, gave me more insight and knowledge on a variety of cultures,values and customs in the society which we live in today.
If I had only been influenced by say just one individual person
my outlook would not be as broad, as I am open to many new ideas and I can never learn enough.Each day, I am learning more about myself which I can use to make me a better person which I am always striving to be.
The biggest impact were my 3 older sisters who actually raised me as my father left us when I was a toddler and my mom had a difficult time dealing with it.(Not her fault)
The elderly whom I have much respect for also were a big influence on my life.The stories they would tell me.The expereinces of having been there and done that.I really gained a very positive outlook on life just from listening and learning from a very young age.
Now being older and wiser I try to be a positive influence on any one I meet or come in contact with and I try hard to limit my mistakes and correct the ones I have made but as I have recently learned that is not always possible. Excellent question,Thank You for asking.You will be very sucessfull.
