* USE THE INTERNET TO HELP BUILD A BETTER WORLD
by Craig Lock
Each one of us has been uniquely created by God as a very special person. I truly believe each one of us has a unique talent or gift (or for those lucky ones, numerous talents or gifts - that's not me!). Something unique to offer the world. So let's all use the amazing power of the Internet to build a better world through making a DIFFERENCE.
I see the WWW as an amazingly positive invention in today's fast-moving technological society. The net is not just a playground of "perverts and porn artists preying on innocent children", as thought by many concerned (and "ignorant") parents in the "real world". From my "rather humble and technologically-challenged perspective", I truly believe that we are at the forefront of one of the most innovative and far reaching 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 to influence people around the globe with POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. We live in one of the most exciting times in human history; so exploit the AMAZING POWER of the Internet to reach hundreds of thousands of people and perhaps even millions around the world. Use your creative energies and imagination to the fullest, by thinking of new ideas of how to help others and make their lives easier through marketing your particular products. (Incidentally, I keep a notebook by my bedside and leave to my creative subconscious mind just before I go to sleep... and I often wake up with new ideas in the morning.)
No matter where you may live on this planet, cyberspace can produce 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 by reaching out to a GLOBAL market-place. As I see it, each one of us has a unique responsibility to ourselves, and our families. It is up to each one of us to reach out and help many people around the world through being innovative and original in our ideas... and the money we earn from selling our array of unique products can be used for many good purposes, like perhaps even helping others achieve their dreams. In doing that, WE WILL BE MAKING THE MOST USE OF OUR UNIQUE "GOD-GIVEN"" ABILITIES. So WHY NOT Celebrate YOUR UNIQUENESS by sharing something of yourself and shining YOUR "little ray of sunshine on the world"?
JUST DO IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!
GOOD LUCK

"We can all use the internet to reach out to the "global community" and build a better world in this new "Information Revolution" that is upon us. Let's use it wisely, respect our diversity and unique cultures; but celebrate a new world in union. One where, like your founding forefathers in America, you can first celebrate the Independence Day of the strong burning creative spirit that is within you. If set alight, it is one that will make your personal VISION of the future a REALITY." "A man (OOPS, or woman) without a dream is destined never to fulfill his or her full potential in life. Never give up on your dream... but take time to smell the flowers on your very individual journey.' Be yourself and daily count your blessings; then try to make a difference in the world - however small. Try to shine your own little ray of sunshine to make the lives of others easier in some small way.
"When you can see no light at the end of the tunnel, light your own candle and let your light illuminate the world, like the radiance from a window at midnight." That's a metaphor, BTW.
Let the light of your BEING shine brightly; so revealing Who You Really Are. Be a Bringer of the Light, which emanates from our soul, God, our Creator, the Source (and Ground of our very Being). Therefore, it can do more than illuminate your own path.YOUR spirit will help makes the lives of others easier by illuminating others paths. For this light is our humanity, the spirit of God, truth, beauty and especially love...and it lies within each one of us. Through your actions and your being, let your light, YOUR spirit truly shine brightly on the world, like the radiance emitted by a candle at midnight." - Craig Lock

About the Author
Craig Lock is a graduate from the University of Cape Town in South Africa... but he has learnt far more from the "school of hard knocks" and the University of Life... battered, bruised but never unbowed. He is an extensive world traveller (on a "shoestring budget") and failed professional emigrater who has spent most of his life's savings on airfares. He is still 'sliding down the razor blade of life' on the beautiful undiscovered island that is New Zealand, somewhere near the bottom (rude!) of the world near Antarctica. There he talks to the 60 million sheep! Craig has been involved in the corporate world (life assurance) for over twenty years in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. However, through a strange set of circumstances and finding himself in a small town near the bottom of the world ...and with nothing else to do, he started writing. That was five years ago. Five published books later and having written another fourteen manuscripts (on widely differing subjects) being published and promoted himself on the internet... this is where Craig is in the "journey/adventure" that is life. Craig has taught at the local Tairiwhiti Polytechnic (English), as well as running a successful creative writing course (not teaching sheep!). He is the author of (as far as we know) the first and only creative writing course on the internet by a published writer. Craig has many varied interests and passions. He is particularly interested in the field of psychology and what makes different people "tick-tock grandfather clock". One of his missions in life is helping people make the most of their hidden potential and so finding their niche in life... so that they are happy. He firmly believes in the motto: "Find what you love doing, then you will never have to do a day's work in your life." Craig is certain he has found his niche in life... anyway, what other job would be suitable for him?
