Who had the most profound effect on your life and why?

Answer 1

Jesus Christ because he washed away my sins and has given me eternal life in heaven

Answer 2

Everyone, our lives are the combination of all the actions and reactions that occur from the second we're born till the second we die. Every single thing that occurs effects us on an even keel because the chance that what is occuring to us now that seems deeply important could not have occured without all the things that happened before that single event.

We would not be here except for out parents, whould would not be here accept for their parents, who would not be here but for their parents... so no single person can truely have a profound effect on your life any more so than the effect of all the people who have come before us and with us during our journey through life.

Answer 3

The scholar Sir karl Popper.

He has showed that left and right of politics can be successfully criticized;that our education is leader-
orientated and faulty in its mass appeal.
He clearly showed that there is a "critical stage" within
our knowledge,and that our lack of mastery of this has
contributed to the fact that western society has not emerged
from its tribal origin.
He was not only passionate about his studies-within his
work he shows why passion is a necessary and conflicting
emotion that must be controlled,to the knowledge-situation.
And he showed lack of real knowledge that "emanates"from
the writings of the Sage of (the then) modern philosophy-
Ludwig Wittgenstein.
And so his work is a must for those interested in these things
and more(psychologists and sociologists take note!).

Answer 4

My grade 12 Writer's Craft teacher, Ms. Corson because she dared to make me re-evaluate my life. Since her course, I have stopped trying to prove myself simply for the sake of it and she has inspired me to follow what my heart is telling me to do, instead of what everyone else knows I should do.
My high school career was dedicated to Math and Science, but I will be entering a university degree in Professional Writing, with a stream into Creative Writing, this fall. I also just finished a local Novel Marathon and managed to write a 150 page manuscript that will be sent directly to a publisher if I am chosen as one of the three winners. Everything has been a bit terrifying to undertake, but has created less stress in my life overall. She dared me to dream and I can never thank her enough for it.

Answer 5

Life spans a long time.... many decades ..... and at many crucial phases someone or the other plays a crucial part to lift us up.At these points , such lifts are the most valuable. But , even amogst these high points there are times in our lives , when one stands out to be very very crucial.

To me this happened when I was in my teens. I knew I could be a successful person given a certain opportunity. But my family was not in a finacially or emotionally good position to give that opportunity. At thast age it is not mentally easy to ask for help. May be ego comes forward to bloch it.

It was at that time a young lady and her husband , came into my life and they , possibly , knew my hesitation . They helped me so much but silently without even mentioning one word of their help.

It was graceful giving and a timely one.To this day I practice what they taught me. Give if you will but give quietly and without much fanfare. Give so that the taker feels NOT obliged and enslaved.

Answer 9

My Dad and Mum; They showed me the value of humility, respect and understanding. I saw the patience and love from my Dad in level with the trust, perseverance and care of my Mum. I grew up in simplicity of life and wanted nothing more like everything was sufficiently provided...in the most simple ways. I never saw them fight, nor even argue right before our very eyes...not because they never did, but because they kept it to themselves so that we, their children wouldn't be affected by domestic problems. I felt parental love like nothing can compare to it. And their legacy will supersede through all times.

Answer 10

My Dad. He served his country in the Navy. He worked hard all his life to provide us a good home, education and foundation for becoming an adult.

He would not allow me to date until I was 17, and then he gave me a picture of him holding his shotgun, for my wallet, which I was always required to show potential boyfriends.

He taught me to have a positive attitude, respect for myself a good sense of humor and to get good grades.

Most of all he showed me what a real man is about, God, family, country.

Answer 11

Too many to mention here.

For the past 10 years, I have met at least one person a week who has given me a blueprint of what not to do. Learning from others is far easier than having to learn "the hard way".
