Before Spending Your Money-Visit ForumsWritten by A. Raymond Randall, Jr.
"Click Here" on a secure server sets off a chain of events approving your credit card (you hope), dispatching an email to your inbox, and delivering your report or ebook. You never talked to provider (and for all you know, they may be sleeping or on vacation). All this happens in a fraction of time it would take you to research your motivation to purchase at a website forum. I've succumbed to this event with a few hundred dollars (probably a lot more) buying answers. However, prudence warns me to ask questions before buying. Asking questions (even dumb or poorly phrased ones) teaches more than remitting money for supposed answers. Paul A. Samuelson observes, "Good questions outrank easy answers." Most vendors provide plenty of free information, but often it fails to address your personal and specific question. Trustworthy answers elude us like Goggle's algorithms. Discovering answers to marketing and website management baffles and confuses many of us. Internet marketers don't resolve our muddling as they pop up on screen proffering offers and solutions. Each strives at convincing us they possess right answer, when maybe there is no right answer, or commonsense already provides solution. Hold off spending your hard-earned cash! See whether or not you can find it for free, or even if you need that book or software program at all. Ask someone with experience who willingly wants to share information; use Forums. Forums allow you to ask courteous questions with an expectation of reasonable answers from friendly people. Most forums require a simple registration and email confirmation. Registering allows you to access full scope of forum service. You will then be authorized to post or start threads, respond to threads, send private messages to members, and enter events in forum calendar. A few forums require a fee before you may post questions or dialogue with members; however, most are free. Use free ones for now, but make sure forum shows thousands of posted threads

A Secret Organisation: Short story on a possible future.Roger Ricketson’s smile was enigmatic. When anyone looked his way they could not help being infected by his contagious facial expression. Something was definitely going right in this man’s life, but until now no one could quite put his or her finger on it. But now, as I look through my office window at man packing up his briefcase at end of workday, turning off his computer, I can’t help sneaking out my own mini-smile. I know his secret. Funny thing is, it wasn’t that hard to discover-it just took a few simple searches on my super-magic machine. The name computer doesn’t really give device enough credibility anymore, it has come a long way in last hundred years, computing is least of its positive attributes. I’m not your average woman in workforce. Vice-President of a huge multinational corporation, millionaire, you’d think I’d be fulfilled with my life’s successes, but no matter how hard I try, something always seems to be missing. I wanted a bit of what Roger’s got and now I know what makes him tick. He wasn’t always like this, hell he used to be quite a grump. Being CEO of a giant pharmaceutical company can be a bit boring, especially when all your competitors are just mindless drones with only one thing on their mind-making more money. However, over last couple of years Roger’s persona had gradually changed, and I was sure it wasn’t from his business life. So, being a bit of a sleuth-cross-hacker I recently tapped into Roger’s personal email account, definitely not an easy task, but then again I’ve always been far from average. It still took me 6 months in my spare time. I could be arrested but I just needed to know this man’s secret, and whenever someone would ask him why he was so happy, he would just smile and wink and then walk away. Well, now I know answer and I can tell you it sure was a shock! Roger belongs to a secret organization. The members of this group aren’t to be scoffed at either; world leaders, billionaires, famous intellectuals and academics fill boss’s contact list. There are also a lot of names I’ve never heard of; there are over 10 thousand members! As far as I can tell they only communicate on Internet, but from their dialogue they all seem tightly connected, and they do get a lot done. This is mind-blowing part, what they do! They call themselves ‘Fixers’. People from every nationality, religion and creed are involved, and I can see why Roger smiles so widely. War, starvation, poverty, sickness, and religious and nationalistic separation have plagued our world for generations. The ‘Fixers’ have decided that enough’s enough. These people from so-called ‘different’ backgrounds are diminishing human-made boundaries of past. ‘Country’ means little to these new-world souls whose only ‘country’ is Internet, and all are allowed to belong. Their goal is to fix Earth: to create a planet where all people have an equal opportunity, where quality of life is high, environment is sustainable, and all are informed of intrinsic ‘togetherness’ of all humans. Spirituality is to be recognized as a common thread instead of focusing on separate cultures’ different practices.
