And. of course, what you eat. But who you meet plays a crucial role in influencing your thoughts and shaping your views. When you meet someone new, you exchange thoughts, perspectives, sometimes you agree with each other sometimes you dont, things that you agree with you adopt and things that you dont you cast it off. Its a growth process, a development of your character. You'll find, that things that you agree with are often modified and tweaked with your own analytical thoughts to suit your personal point of view, you add things, you delete others, you customize these thoughts and views and the end result is something that is uniquely, YOU.
I find meeting and talking to new people important, it makes up who you are. It tells you more about what you like, what you dislike; it makes you better or worse, but its progressive.
I attended my girlfriend's birthday celebration last night, and met her parents. Her dad was talking to me and in that 1 hour of our conversation i have learnt too many things. He was a really knowledgeable person, well, and i was really ignorant. He taught me the brief history of languages,
That anglo-saxons, were from germany and denmark, the vikings spoke "Nase?"( i dont know the spelling of it) and they were from the scanadivian regions, latin comes from the roman empire, french , italian etc has its roots in the latin language. And english is derived from influences of all these languages. OK it might be a tad too obvious to some of you, but hey i dont know it and i know im ignorant. hahha therefore world history book. but hey, i havent got to the chapter on languages.
