That would depend entirely on the person being influenced, not the person being an influence. If the person is "bad", it may harder to be a good influence. If the person is "good" it may be harder to be a bad influence. If a person has done stuff in the past, that is considered questionable by some, it seems likely they would be easier influenced to do the same or similar things. On the other hand, they may have done things in the past that they are not proud of, and may be easier influenced to do good. It really all depends on the person being influenced, and their desire to be "good" or "bad"

I'm more of an encourager than anything else, and for the most part, a good influence. Just because I can influence people doesn't mean they take my advice or learn by example. What they do is their own biz, and their own consequences. I've been both good and bad (unfortunatly), and I feel the guilt when I've wronged someone by providing bad advice or example. I try to do the right thing for the most part, and hope that it is it's own reward.

It takes a long time to be a good influence. A bad influence can be done by just smoking in front of someone.
Being a bad influence is so much easier.

Bad influence. I just have to be myself for 2 seconds and I'm already a bad influence.

It depends on what type of person you are. If you are a consistently good person on the whole then you would find it easier to be a good influence. And Vice Versa.
I would say that for most, it is easier to be a bad influence as it is easy to procrastinate, break promises and be rude as they can all involve inaction wheras being good usually involes action and thought.

It is easier to be a bad influence on someone because you do this without thinking,also you do it with everyone who sees you.
No necessity to meet.
Try it walk down your street and if someone is near pick up some rubbish,I'm sure you will find some.
Watch the reaction.
Did it this afternoon on a beach front I spent six months re vegetating.

thats kind of a tough one but if you are a good person with good morals i think it is easy to be a a good influence on someone to have a prosperous and productive life who is law abiding but if not such a great individual then it is easier to be a bad influence so its whatever you want to be and how you want to live.

Good influence. I never had to talk anybody into doing good things, but bad things take some convincing. Parents installed that "good will" in you over 18yrs. It takes a lil time to get out.
