Of course, family comes first. They have the biggest impact on our lives, don’t they? From childhood, they nurture and care for us, influencing us in countless ways. However, the hard truth is that family can also have a negative impact if it is dysfunctional. Still, we have the choice to decide the path we walk in life.

Friends also have a strong influence on us. Like family, their impact can be both good and bad. Those who have a negative influence on us are not truly friends, and it is better to stay away from them. I have always been a bit different, and I didn’t have many friends growing up. I also had my own flaws, such as pride, which I came to realize later in life.

The most positive influence on me came from my teachers and the books I read. They shaped my thinking, broadened my perspective, and pushed me to aim higher. Their influence often remains long after direct interaction ends.

Work relationships, on the other hand, made me mature. Through them, I understood the realities of life.
