Who/what do you have to credit for helping your beliefs mature to where they are now?

[forthright]

Who/what helped you the most?

[NathanDavis]

first and foremost, I would like to thank God.

and then my family, my parents and also my brothers, some of my relatives

and of course TV, it raised me as well... oh and also the radio... and all of you in the books, dead or undead...

I also have to thank to my beloved Luna for so much, best dog one could ever wish for... and nowadays my beloved Luna, best cat one could ever wish for

my friends as well, those who I knew and new the best, and also those that were not as close

dozens of neighbors, hundreds of acquaintances... thousands of strangers in my daily life, all of you as well

to my online friends, all of them along the way... as much as the many strangers on the streets which just happened to strike in conversations with me

I also have to thank to all those who brought me trouble and adversity, to life itself for all the tests and well, life in general for just happening

and then my partners, I do owe them probably the most, they're all been part of who I am and always will be part of who I really am

and lastly, to all of you who I did not have much interaction with, but you were still on my perspective because I certainly was not born and raised on no island by myself..

I am one more and one among you all, so thank you and kudos to everyone and you all.

My mentors, people more mature than me who gave me advice. My cousin said never lie to yourself and if you want the truth in your life to be beautiful you have to acknowledge the parts that are ugly and change it. My aunt said, it’s not your goals that count but the things you are willing to do to achieve them and I had four people say you have to earn respect and if you don’t your not considered.
