3. What or who is the most important thing in your life and why?

Friend's response:
1.He finds his dad the most influential person in his life because he started with nothing living in a third world country. He came to USA at age 17 and worked his way up. He would walk to work and school with plastic bags on his feet. From that he sees that there is no excuse to not getting things done. Everyday he tries to 1-up himself to reach to his father's level.
2. Read a paper at work saying that you should always be active and if you have nothing to do find something. After reading he thought about pushing himself to the limit to get results and went back to work.
3. Family (considers close friends family as well) they are the only people that motivate and keep him on his feet. 

Friend of a friend's response:
1. Myself, because I use different personas in different settings and situations for example I use my subconscious to tell myself stop being an imbecile. I am self sufficient, I do not like to rely on anyone.
2.  Do not recall on anything that has made me reconsider my values or beliefs. I do not change them but add to them.
3. In terms of what it would be my drive because I put the greater motive in things. For example right now I could be working at retail right now enjoying my young adulthood and have my own apartment, but I would be making around 30,000 with only 5,000 to spend on whatever. It would not benefit me or the people I want to help through some meager job but from attending college, internships and other things. Gaining wealth and power not to be self centered but to help others like third world countries. I had to reinvent my dreams but it is worth it.
