Share Your Best Life Story With The World

When most people sit down to write a book, they expect it
will take months to complete the job. They envision working
endlessly and toiling over every word until they finally
emerge a year or two later with their finished
"masterpiece."

Well, that may hold true for traditional authors, but the
power of the Internet makes it possible for more innovative
authors to not only create books with compelling content,
but to do it faster and easier than most ever dreamed
possible.

Texas psychologist, Michael Wolf, Ph.D., represents a new
breed of author who sees technology not only as a way to
bypass traditional publishing and distribution channels
that take years to bring books to market, but use the
Internet to actually gather the main content for his book.

Understanding that many authors write in a vacuum about
things that only seem relevant in their own lives, Dr. Wolf
decided to let his audience help him write his books by
sharing their specific stories with him through the
Internet.

His book series, called "One Lesson Learned," is currently
in development at www.onelessonlearned.com.

These encouraging instructional books will contain personal
stories from ordinary people who share an important lesson
learned from their own life-changing experiences. These
books will give both readers and contributors a chance to
connect and make a positive impact on each others' lives.

Unlike the popular "Chicken Soup For the Soul" book series
which often focuses strictly on inspirational stories, the
"One Lesson Learned" series will concentrate specifically
on how one person's lesson learned can impact the lives of
others in specific ways.

As a practicing psychologist, Dr. Wolf figured out what
your grandmother knew all along: the hardest lessons
learned usually represent the best lessons to share with
others so they don't make the same mistakes.

Most people will experience an event or develop a personal
insight that changes their lives forever, though they often
don't realize the impact until years later. Unfortunately,
the jewels of wisdom contained in those stories usually
never extend beyond the individuals involved.

Dr. Wolf hopes to preserve this knowledge through his "One
Lesson Learned" book series.

His inspiration comes mainly through his own 20 years of
helping people make positive changes in their own lives by
discovering and using their own life lessons. He also
recognized the healing power of sharing these lessons with
others, not only for the reader, but also for the
storyteller.

Gathering content through the Internet makes it possible
for individuals from all walks of life around the world to
share their stories and make a positive difference in the
lives of others.

In effect, Dr. Wolf has created a virtual campfire around
which we can all sit and gain hard-won knowledge from each
other, much the same way our ancestors did before life got
so complicated.

Ebay: The First 10 Years.
Yes, you read that correctly: ten years. eBay was created in September 1995, by a man called Pierre Omidyar, who was living in San Jose. He wanted his site – then called ‘AuctionWeb’ – to be an online marketplace, and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind in the world. The name ‘eBay’ comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company’s name was Echo Bay, and the ‘eBay AuctionWeb’ was originally just one part of Echo Bay’s website at ebay.com. The first thing ever sold on the site was Omidyar’...
