What has influenced the course of your life the most and why?
"Everybody has his own world", they say. It is nonsense. The world stays
the same. It is how you look at it that makes the difference. It is just like
looking through glasses of your ideas, habits and values. Everybody has
such a pair of glasses. They have been created since you were born and,
believe it or not, they were not created by you. It is OTHER PEOPLE who
have made them. No matter if you love those people, hate them or don.t
know them personally. It is enough to come in touch with their ideas.
However, I do not think it is fate that has influenced the course of my
life. I believe it has been my pair of "glasses": my ideas, habits and values.
Because if my values were different, they would give my life a different
course, too. Well, and if it is the pair of "glasses", through which I see
the world, that has influenced the course of my life the most, it is also
the people who have created my "glasses". As everyone, I have been
influenced by lots of people. And who are the most important of them?
First of all are my parents. They have known and loved me since the
beginning of my existence and they were the first ones to shape my
'glasses' through education. That is why my values are similar to their
values and my 'glasses' similar to their 'glasses', especially my Mum.s.
But there are also differences in our 'glasses' and that is why there can
be friction between us. Sometimes she accepts my ideas, too, although
she thinks something different. But most times she wants me to see
things in the same way as she sees them. That is what I do not like about
her, but such behavior just belongs to us humans: Everybody, or almost
everybody thinks that his glasses are the best and, of course, we want
only the best for the people we love. Luckily, people do not let themselves
be influenced by things they don't want. If everyone thought the same
about everything, our life would be pretty boring!
Next it is my friends who have influenced my
the same. It is how you look at it that makes the difference. It is just like
