If there’s fire on the mountain
And lightning and storm
And a god speaks from the sky

The outcry and the birth-cry
Of new life at its term.
It means once in a lifetime
That justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.

For all those receiving their #HSC scores today it’s worth noting - I’ve hired 100s of successful people as a CEO & not once have I asked for their HSC score or even their uni marks. But I did ask all of them ‘what have you done in your life that has made a difference to others?
