USE THE AWESOME POWER OF THE INTERNET
TO HELP BUILD A BETTER WORLD

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man nto use the Internet and he won't bother you for months...or nperhaps even years! (Sorry men... however, I presume thisnprinciple also applies to our women-folk!)."

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."n - Walt Disney

I truly believe each one of us has a unique talent or gift (ornfor those lucky ones, numerous talents or gifts - that's not me!)nsomething unique to offer the world.

"Each one of us has been uniquely created by God and withinneach of us, we have certain special "instincts" or "naturalntendencies/strengths/inclinations" towards certain things.
When you learn to trust and rightly apply your instinct, thatnis when your uniqueness will shine through. You will have noncompetition. You will attract those people that just need andnlove your service or products. There are ways you can developnto let more of your natural strengths to shine through innyour business." (and in your LIFE).

I fully agree with those fine and wise words by an anonymousnauthor (please let me know, if you know who, so I can givenhim/her credit).

The KEY, I believe, is finding then fulfilling your uniquentalents, so that you can set out on your unique pathway innlife: to touch other lives and make a difference, any difference.

So let's mobilise the amazing power and scope of the Internet to buildna better world through making a DIFFERENCE: by sharing and givingnsomething of ourselves.

I see the WWW as an amazingly positive invention in today'snfast-moving technological society. The net is not just anplayground of "perverts and porn artists preying on innocentnchildren", as thought by many conce
ed (and "ignorant") parentsnin the "real world". From my "rather humble andntechnologically-challenged perspective", I truly believe that wenare at the forefront of one of the most innovative and farnreaching inventions in human history.

The net is the most cost-efficient , INSTANTANEOUS, EXCITING and effective way of marketing products and services around the globe through modern telecommunications, as well as being a tool toninfluence people around the globe with POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. We live in one of the most exciting times in human history; sonexploit the AMAZING POWER of the Internet to reach hundreds ofnthousands of people and perhaps even millions around the world.
Use your creative energies and imagination to the fullest, bynthinking of new ideas of how to help others and make their livesneasier through marketing your particular products. (Incidentally,
I keep a notebook by my bedside and leave to my creativensubconscious mind just before I go to sleep... and I often wakenup with new ideas in the morning.)

No matter where you may live on this planet, cyberspace cannproduce income to so many "budding entrepreneurs" . The www gives 'ordinary people' without much capital, like you and I, a great
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY: the opportunity of self employment bynreaching out to a GLOBAL market-place. As I see it, each one ofnus has a unique responsibility to ourselves, and our families. Itnis up to each one of us to reach out and help many people aroundnthe world through being innovative and original in sharing our ideas...nand the money we earn from selling our array of unique productsncan be used for many good purposes, like perhaps even helpingnothers achieve their dreams. In doing that, we will be leaving a legacynfor our time on this planet, as well as making the most use of our unique "God-given abilities.

"Our talents are our gifts from God, our Creator; but what we DOnwith our talents are our gifts TO God.

JUST DO IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!

GOOD LUCK AND BE HAPPY

Craig Lock ("Incorrigible Encourager, People-builder and Infopreneur")

PS: "We can all use the internet to reach out to the "globalncommunity" and build a better world in this new "Informatio

Revolution" that is upon us. Let's use it wisely, respect ourndiversity and unique cultures; but celebrate a new world innunion. One where, like your founding forefathers in America, youncan first celebrate the Independence Day of the strong burningncreative spirit that is within you. If set alight, it is one thatnwill make your personal VISION of the future a REALITY andnperhaps even your DESTINY."n- Craig Lock

"Success to others may be apparent in what you DO; butnsignificance, meaning and purpose lies, then reveals itselfnin what you ARE and BECOME down the 'river of life' - hownand the spirit with which you face, then overcome the dailynobstacles, the frequent trials and tribulations along thenoften rocky path-way of life's magical and mysteriousnjou
ey. Light your path brightly."

" I truly believe we can ALL create and enthuse magic inton'so-called humdrum little lives'. You don't just have to benthe choreorapher, or the conductor of your life script -nrather paint your life as the masterpiece it could (one day)nbe. There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul,nthat flows through the spirit of God. So don't spend you
days stringing and tuning your instrument; start making andnplaying your unique tunes of music right now."

About the author:
Craig is a writer and "internet pioneer" (or "infopreneur"), who believes in sharing information with "dashes" of humour, as well as encouraging and helping others to find their talents and gifts, to strive for and accomplish their dreams in life - whatever they may be.

"In our own little ways in our individual lives we, each one of us can touch the lives of others and in so doing illuminate the hearts and minds of humanity. We must offer a compelling alte
ate vision for the world: a bright future of justice, tolerance (even "tolerance of intolerance"), respect for other traditions and values and especially a vision of hope fuelled by the flame of love - one that banishes the fanatical ideology of intolerance and hatred to the darkness from which it emerged."n- Craig Lock (inspired by and adapted from the words of Abdurahman Wahid, former President of Indonesia)

"Our Greatest Good is perhaps not to share our material possessions, our money and 'riches' with others, but through faith in other people, to so lay the foundation to reveal the rich treasure that lies within themselves."n-craig
