榜样 Role Models
今天我们来聊聊“榜样 Role Models”，这是一个范围很广的话题。
Let's talk about Role Models today, which is a very broad topic.
来一起探究下“Who has influenced you the most？” 谁对你的影响最大？
这个问题也有很多种问法，比如：
Which person has influenced your life the most?
Who has been your greatest influence?
Who in your life has influenced you the most?
Who is the most influential person in your life?
要说一个影响你的人，就谈谈他的行为对你有什么改变
思维转变：影响-改变-结果

My father had a strong influence on my early childhood.
My father was ingenious.
He bought some wood from the timber market and made all the furniture of the house.
Then I started to learn carpentry skills on my early childhood.
At age of eight, I made myself a wooden table with a few pieces of wood.
Actually, I failed many times, but finally I made it and I transferred this experience to my study. I never gave up!
You can't imagine how happy I was.
