What do you think of those who line up a day before for an Iphone?
I honestly have no negative nor positive feelings. If you want to line up, go ahead, the iphone is a pretty nice device and I'd love to have one but I myself wouldn't line up for it. Not to mention, I have an iphone 4 already so there's not an absolute need for a new one. However, I do think you need a little bit of weird devotion if you are going to do it, but if you really want one, line up. Just a word of advice though, I seriously think that ordering online is way easier than waiting in line days for an iphone.

Guardrails #3
In what ways do you "walk with the wise"?
First off, ICS is a rather safe and sheltered community so in a way, I walk with the wise through this. In school I also sometimes hang out with some of the smartest people in the school who are also some of the nicer people so I literally walk with the wise through this. Finally, while not really applicable to the concept of guardrails, I find that I walk with the wise around my family. This being because, they really taught me so much around behavior and how to treat others, such as being fine with people of different religion, political views, or sexual orientation, which I find is extremely important. Not to mention, my parents have kept me fairly safe in my life and have good guardrails regarding my actions in my opinion.

Guardrails #2
What is the most important part of your life where you need guardrails the most?
To me it's in self control like I mentioned earlier, and specifically money. Just like in the earlier post I made that small amount of money could make a pretty big difference for me today and I'm pretty sure that a guardrail will be essential for my future when I get into college.

Guardrails #1
What was a time where you didn't have guardrails but wished you did?
The biggest aspect I could think of was any time I was given some money. Normally, I would just blow it all off on video games and not the one-purchase type games, but arcade games so I really didn't get much out of spending the money. Thinking back about my 5-year old self, just a little bit of self-control (the guardrail) could've saved me so much money in the long run, but I think most little kids are like that.

Character
Character is who you are when no one is watching.
- Bill Hybels
Regarding this quote, I have a partial agreement in this. I think it's more likely that someone will show their true character when they're alone since the pressures from others aren't present, but it is still possible for someone to do the same in public or in front of others. To me it is not as likely as said before, but their are many situations in which someone is called to show their character in public like various health emergencies or any dangerous situations.
