Everyone shapes everyone else. My family, friends and everyone around me have been the ones shaping and moulding me into who I am now. At the same time, I influence people around me as well, whether knowingly or not.
How do people influence? Very simple, right? When I am unsure whether I should go for that party, a friend comes along and says, "Just go la. It'll be fun. Can't eat oso nvm. Jz go for the fellowship." And then inside, I was actually thinking: 'Okay, if someone else other than the host asks me to go, I'll go.' So, I go.
How do I influence people as well? While that friend may be asking me to go, s/he may be thinking inside as well: 'Okay, if he goes, I'll go as well.' So, I say,"Very well! I will go!!" And s/he goes too!
We are all connected. Whatever we do affects everyone else around us, whether we know it or not. (in fact, it also affects our environment as well!) So... Once again... Do not underestimate what your actions entail. Remember The Butterfly Effect. Live for more than yourself. More than that, live KNOWING that you're living for more than yourself.
