    Have to do a presentation for college on words that inspire me or mean something special. Can be based on a book poem song or film. Cannot think of anything at all! Anyone any words that mean something to them?

    Inspiration: a lone sparrow singing from a telephone wire, while the sun slowly drags itself up over the hills and began it's long journey of the day. Clouds streaming softly by, a faint breeze blowing. And snow, on the all the living and the dead.

    One word? Rumble.

    Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet.

    or

    The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you

    What a cocky, saucey Monkey this one is.
    All the Gods were angry and they punished him.
    Until he was saved by a kindly priest,
    And that was the start of their pilgrimage quest.
    Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
    Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
    Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
    Monkey magic, Monkey magic ooh!


    Inspiring stuff, yes?

    The chuck norris quotes below -

    “Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.”

    “The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”

    “Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.”

    "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

    - Christopher Reeve

    I think that's really inspirational, and in some sort of way it is true.

    Best of luck

    It's better to be dead and cool , than alive and Uncool .

    The worst thing you can say to a engineer is that they can't fix a problem , or that it's too complex for them .... I'm a Engineer , all i do is fix problems.



    ( this next one is more funny that anything else.)

    Mechanical Engineers build weapons ,Civil Engineers build targets.


    and the thing that inspires me the most ,


    To be happy in life all you need are 3 things , the 4th is a bonus.

    1. To love some and have that love returned.
    2. A loving family around you for you to support but also for them to make you smile.
    3. A Job you Love to do.
    4. You get paid well for your job.

    There are two phrases that inspire me. The first, my English teacher back in school said to me. They were words that a teacher of his told him (a quote from somewhere) and he felt it would help us realise that the Leaving Cert was just a load of rubbish and put unfair pressure on us. He said "Never let the b*stards grind you down!"

    The other phrase isn't as profound. It's from Highlander: "It's better to burn out than to fade away!"
