How I was influenced by my friends??

When you ask a friend "What movies are good to go see?" or "Where should we go to dinner?", you are doing a verbal social search. You’re trying to leverage that social connection to try and get a piece of information that would be better than what you would have come up with on your own..

This is a small example on how you can be influenced by your friends..

Well I had been smoking for over a year at the time, and I knew most of my friends were under the influence of much heavier drugs, and one of my friends really influenced me.. This is an example of your friend spoiling your life.. This shows how someone can be negatively influenced by their friends..

She made me feel as if someone actually cared about me.. She helped me get over my addictions to drinking and smoking.. She helped me keep God in my heart when times were tough.. I could go on.. She is the best.. I don't know where I would be without that girl.. This shows how someone can be postively influenced by their friends..

In the same manner, every friend of ours will have influenced us in some way or the other.. The influences can have a positive or a negative impact on your personal life.. I would like to go ahead and tell you how I was influenced by each of my friends.. Here I go,

Apoorva - I have learnt a lot from him.. His hard-working nature, his commitment, positive and never give-up attitude are the key take-aways that have influenced me in a great sense..

Bharath - This guy is the most influential person I have ever seen.. I am very impressed by his way of looking at life.. His suggestions and opinions about any topic on earth would make anyone impressed.. I still have lots to extract from him though.. Looking forward to learn more from you mate..

Chethan - You can go on teasing him for a life-time, even then this guy would stay quiet and also enjoy along with you.. So, I have learnt to be patient and stay quiet even when the odds are up against you and when things are'nt going your way and enjoy the situation..

Khaleel - I have learnt how to take things as they come and to be positive always.. Thanks to this guy.. To speak about negative influences, he has influenced me in liking guys more than gals..

Madhu - This guy has influenced me in behaving like a professional.. He was the person responsible for me to stop using slangs.. Talking about negative influences again, he made me like him a lot..

Navya - I have learnt to do things the right way.. Thanks to this Madam Perfectionist.. She has made me take less chances/risks in life.. Negatives again, she is one who has made me think a lot now before I take any decision..

Nidhi - She is one from whom I have learnt how to be trust-worthy and how to manage money.. I have learnt how to spend less and enjoy more.. Thanks to her, now that I have learnt how to save 5k every month starting this month..

Srinidhi - I have learnt the most lovely thing in my life - Blogging.. Thanks for that mate.. I am waiting for the right time to learn about being a great family man from him.. Its too early for that now though..

Thanks to all you guys for bearing a positve influence on me.. I hope I had a positive influence on each one of you..
