How To Be Useful
by Would you like to make your mark in the world? Maybe something that will be around here forever long after you are all but dust.
With the computers but specially the Internet you can now have granted access to a way to leave your mark in the world. Not just another mark in the sea or another sand in the desert. Let’s talk about a BIG mark.
Take a look at some Big projects like: Wikipedia. Did you know that you can write to it and have your name in the Hall of Fame? The best editors will have their name there and will have special access to Wikipedia. This is true also for the donates too. You can donate 10$ or maybe even more and have your name forever there!
Starting a BIG blog is another way to make your name famous and also to leave your mark int he digital world. Pick the topic you like the most and then write all you can about it. Add some videos to the site. Make it shine. Add also some flash you can make easily, just learn some because it’s really worth it.
Leaving your mark today is not hard at all.
Write a book and sell it yourself. Sell that book on your website, on eBay, on Amazon or anywhere you want.
Make some good program or extension for Firefox that makes everyone talk about it. I am sure you have some very good ideas for it.
Start a very famous company. This is the best way to make people remember your name. Just think about the most famous people of all time. Ford, Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller, Edison, Einstein. They were not Presidents, actually no one cares about Presidents, they prefer people that really do something about their lives, that makes cars, computers, honey, sugar, actual things, not mere promises.
If you truly want to make your name last forever you really need to start an Empire.
Then you will be remembered like an Emperor!

All novel ideas, to be sure but for all that matters in a real world sense, just some basic virtues can build the foundation for a successful life…
Honesty. The world has very few honest people in positions that mean anything. If you intend to rise to the top, shock the planet and do it without lying, cheating or stealing.
Defy the lie. Don’t be afraid to expose untruths or propaganda. Our society has become bloated and comfortable, both physically and mentally. Don’t let yourself become so content in your place in life that you no longer care to stand up against corruption.
Learn the basics first. Human civilization is not built on technology but rather, a foundation of things like language, math and the arts. To gain the best understanding of where you are and where you may be going, first understand how you and the rest of us got here
