If someone asks me who affects me most in my life， I will definitely tell him or her that the person should be no one else but my father. As a matter of fact， I have been much affected by his humor， kindness， and enterprise ever since I was a little girl.

Father is well known for his humor. He always makes use of his wit and humor to relax tense situations at work. He is so humorous that his colleagues and friends all enjoy staying with him. He also uses humor to create a very happy family atmosphere. My mother tends to chatter about little things. Sometimes she talks angrily without any pause. When this happens， Father just listens to her without a word.“Why dont you say a word， man？” Mother is more angry at Father. At this time， Father would give a cup of tea to Mother， and then replies， “Why not have tea first， my dear？ Just take your time to enjoy it. Im always your attentive listener.” Hearing these words， Mother stops talking with her anger gone at once. Such funny scenes often appear between Father and Mother， which makes our family life happy and interesting.

Father is also very kind to people. He often invites those poor temporary workers who are far away from home to have dinner with us. He always helps our neighbors repair bikes， fix locks and so on. Whenever anyone is in trouble， he never hesitates to offer his warm hands. All this earns him lots of friends and their respect as well.

Father is filled with enterprise in his life. He lost many chances of study before for some reasons. But he has never given up learning all the time. He has read many books on architecture in order to work much better as a housebuilder. He has gone through lots of difficulties because of his inadequate education. But he hasnt lost heart at all. He keeps learning with a strong will. Now he has become a very excellent worker in his company.

My father is the greatest man in the world. His humor， kindness and enterprise are always the power of my life. I am very proud of my father.
