Just some answers I haven't seen yet.

1.

I use Chief Delphi to teach myself that a robotics team is not the limit for a graduating high school student, helping field reset at a regional competition is not the limit for a college student volunteer, and running an off season competition is not the limit for 21 years old young adult. Every day I come in to read some discussion and remind myself that there are endless potential for a single human being who is willing to stretch his/her imagination to whichever direction he/she wants. Then I remind myself this world is full of wonderful people, especially in FIRST, and that I am the only limit to the endless possibilities out there.

2.

I use Chief Delphi as a testing ground for my imaginations. I come up with a new idea, I think about it as I type it up, I get excited as I successfully present my idea in the form of writing, I get nervous about what kind of responds I will get, I get angry at myself for posting a foolish idea, I keep refreshing the page for new replies, I read the replies and learn from any constructive criticism there are, then I re-think my idea and repeat step one.

3.

Every time I log into Chief Delphi, it feels like I am plugged into a virtual reality with only thoughts and ideas in its own little universe. Sometimes the ideas are stimulating, sometimes they are funny, and sometimes they are sad. I don't particularly care what kind if information float through my mind, as long as they keep coming in and change my soul little by little. I smile when I sense a funny little conversation over in this corner, or I pay attention when I hear an energetic discussion over in that corner. It doesn't matter how those discussion ends, as long as the process of the discussion continues from one to another. It feels like I can do this forever and ever.

4.

To me, the Chief Delphi Forum feels like a Cafe I am always welcome to. Many cool people are aware of this Cafe, and they stop by whenever they want and chat with the people there just for fun. No one is unwelcome to this place, as long as you don't act mean or disrespectful. I come to this Cafe to meet cool people, talk to them, get to know them, and share my experiences with them. Many times I come here to ask for advices or have fun with the discussions, but usually I come to relax and put myself in a state of mind that's most enjoyable to me. I feel like I am in a place with only the best of the human experience in here. No need to worry about suffering or death, only ways to improve yourself and the world around you.
