Books, primarily. Too many to name. Some fiction, some nonfiction, and a bit of poetry.
Films, next. Not many, but those that did affected me deeply.
People, penultimately. Books and films are made by people, but here I am talking about people directly. A few teachers, my children -- or rather the process of being a parent -- and my lovers.
Age, lastly. Sadly, I can't narrow down the most influential experiences, or even the lessons learned.
That's my list!
WISDOM. Through wisdom I see a way to happiness and I know I can trust myself, the worldview is really my view of the world, so I choose a wise one of course. Wisdom books are great, so is other great wise technology that you can check my hubs for in the near future. Wow, a 95 how'd you manage that?

my experiences as I traveled and met people both in the US and in other country's. watching the Wall come down, meeting Free Russians and East germans. spending time in the great sandbox.
