My Q: Favourite quote and why?

You got it welcome!!

Edit (Came Up With a Better Question): Say you weren't modded, would you still have hung around after your VCE, and if so, what's the big reason why?

My Q: Favourite quote and why?

Perfect, and it's great to have you on board and jumping right in!

Hmmm, I love the quote in my sig currently, but also: The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Edit (Came Up With a Better Question): Say you weren't modded, would you still have hung around after your VCE, and if so, what's the big reason why?

Like you, I didn't join AN till after I finished VCE myself... pretty much I joined up out of the blue, I can't even remember why, to post resources and answer questions   Why?  Because helping people 'just coz' is what life's about.  It's fun, it's satisfying, and it's what we're here for.

What does the bikini emoji mean to you 

Umm what, bikini emoji?

(but nah, they remind me of a reelly bad friend of mine)

1. Do you have any inspirational quotes for us?

2. Why are you so inspiring?

3. What is the most awe-inspiring book you've read?

[FallingStar]

Has your faith played a role in your mental health? If so, how?

I have played this questions before in a forum game: Would you rather preach Bible versus about the Pharisee to a group of priests preaching actions over faith, or preach Bible versus about the Tax Collectors in front of a group of Australian Taxation Office employees? Justify your reasons.

What is your favourite Bible Verse?

If you can make one non mod on the forums a nat mod, who would it be?

Why did you choose to join AN even though you've already graduated VCE?

With an ATAR that could perhaps get you into a decent uni course, why did you not choose to opt for alternatives?

What is your favourite music genre?

What is your pride and joy in life?

When you get older, what would you like to have achieved in your life?

What is your favourite YouTube clip?

FallingStar, will answer later.

1. Do you have any inspirational quotes for us?

About ten million LOL, I'm a quotes junkie.

Spoiler

No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. - Angelou

Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. - Angelou

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Jobs

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. - Confucius

Do not go where the path may lead, go where there is no path and leave a trail. - Emerson

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less travelled by,
and that made all the difference. - Frost

This is no time for ease and comfort.  It is time to dare and endure. - Churchill

So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. - Monroe

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go... - Dr Seuss

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater. - Tolkein

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. - Agatha Christie

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. - Murakami

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. - Tagore[/quote]

2. Why are you so inspiring?

Because I present a carefully curated internet image which carefully hides (many of) my flaws and only presents exaggerated good qualities.

3. What is the most awe-inspiring book you've read?

Hmmmmm.... I think The Lord of the Rings (the book).

So many other though... Anna Karenina and War and Peace, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, first-world-war fiction or memoirs, second-world-war memoirs, Man's Search for Meaning, and biographies or autobiographies of crazy people who have done crazy things or just been incredibly awesome - such as Mother Teresa or Dr Ida Scudder or William Carey and the list goes on.

Pretty much, books where the human spirit rises and shows its incredible nobility above and beyond what is required despite crushing struggles.

Btw, scariest mod?

Because I was drastically over-committed at the time and I'm hopeless at doing anything useful nowadays.

Me.  Durrrrr.

What is the worst film you have seen at the cinemas?

Um.  Well.  This is awkward.  I have... never... been... to... the... cinemas... LOOOOOL.

[Calebark]

Hmmmmm.... I think The Lord of the Rings

ayyyyyy
Have you read The Silmarillion? Or the ASOIAF series (very different to LOTR in terms of writing style, plot, and the general feel, although they're both fantastic series)?
