What have they said or done? What makes them special? What was it you learned from them that made so much difference in you?

I know my answer is weird but it is.

Ok, last time I am not that good in academic.

Until last year, This P (who is my enemy) who started bad rumors about me until most of my classmate avoid me and belittle about my marks.
So, I study super extra hard and I got second in my class.
Then the next exam I got first.
Besides that, my classmate changed their attitude towards me and they are more 'tolerable'

I know it sounds fake but it is true.
Sometimes, it is not the person that you like who inspire you. ( wiell, I think in my case)

Aside from the religious answer, it is my father who has had the greatest influence in my life. What I have learned from him is perseverance, integrity. and compassion towards others. Although he is 84, and in constant pain, he still does volunteer taxes for people in his community who can't handle their own. He also keeps up with the tax law and trains the other volunteers who do volunteer taxes each year through his community library. He has taught me that life isn't just about your own pleasure, not that he doesn't enjoy many things, but that it also about helping others. When I was young we didn't get along at all. Now that I am older what I have also learned is understanding others through learning to understand, forgive his failings as a father, and accept and admire him as a person in his own right. The end is that I have come to love and appreciate him as a father, too.

Everyperson around have in someway made an impact on me.But I choose Mahatma Gandhi specifically.He was not a born genius or an intellectual.He was just a normal person like any of us who chose to change his life and make it the way he wanted.He gave more importance to character all his life and through his life proved that if it is strong we can move the world and set an example for generations to come.In what way he inspired me?He has given me the hope that you dont have to be born extraordinary to make youself extraordinary.Indeed he was an ordinary man in an extraordinary way!!!!!!

Richard Dawkins - He is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and popular science writer who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. Dawkins is also an outspoken atheist, humanist, and sceptic.

One only has to visit wikipedia to find out what makes him special.

What have I learnt from Richard Dawkins? The importance of education and science, certain facts regarding evolutionary biology, to raise my level of awareness towards the issue of human overpopulation, and to question religious ideology.

While the above is only a small sample of what I have learnt from Richard Dawkins, I most certainly have him to thank for leading me to enroll at University, where I am now studying philosophy and psychology.

Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) who lived in Arabian desert 1450 years ago is the man who has influenced me the most. He has shown me everything in my life. Even the small things like how to walk in the road? how to dress? how to go to toilet? how to behave with your parents? Everything he has shown to me and to all Muslims from his time till the end of this world. We have a complete life history of him which has so far inlfuenced largest human on earth. This has been proved long back by a New York Magazine.

My Mom.
She was open minded and saw good and bad in everyone.
Was never judgemental. She taught me and my brothers
to be open minded and always loved a debate. She made
me feel special and that is what I try to do to my own children.
So that they have respect like we used to have. Both my
parents are gone now but I think about them everyday. And
in certain situations i find myself saying 'mom just would not
have handled it that way'. So she will always be with me.
She also taught my brothers to treat their girlfriends or any
other woman the way they would like their own sister to be
treated. So my sisters in law have very good husbands!

My Father. He said, "I will give you all my lands as long as you wont marry that man>" He's genuine man for he loves to explore and a good father in the sense that he never belittle me although other dughters of his peer are successful . He taught how to deal with people as all friends without descrimination. That's why when he died i cried bitterly.
