Who's the most influential person in your life?
As a sort of corollary to the "Most Influential Person" thread in Tilted Philosophy, I was curious about who you guys found most influential for you on a personal level, and why. That bypasses easy answers like "Albert Einstein" or "Jesus," or "Siddartha," I figure.
For me, it's been a co-worker of mine who's helped me immensely in making job contacts, one of which looks like it might hit paydirt. This might be kind of dry or boring to y'all, but in these economic times, an influential friend is a make-or-break difference when looking for employment, and he's been more helpful than he'll probably ever know. I've been working as an intern for almost a year now, and living with my folks, not enough money for much of a social life, etc. It would be like winning the lottery at this point.
