Blog 4 - Influence

Another one of my favorite words - Influence.  A terrible word, and a great word.  More often a terrible word, but it depends.  Influence is the actions or doings of another to inflict a change upon another decision.  I don't like influence, as I think people should do what ever makes them happy.  Unfortunately  this is often not the case, and many people put themselves through things they really don't enjoy, just because others want them to.

I don't think that people should do what makes others happy, but rather what makes them happy.  After all, the human goal in life to be happy.  We should stop caring about the opinion of others and simply do what you want.

However, this is very difficult.  The social and media programs have such a large influence on the decisions of people these days, that it's very hard to just be yourself.  Peer pressure and influence needs to stop.
