Based on the person's potential in various skill sets, mentors will select apprentices. Those who are otherwise not chosen will still be provided a "big brother" type of mentor. The organization will be founded on the premise that everyone has the potential to be more than they are today. Although it will take a little while for the organization's infrastruture to grow, every effort will be made to find a mentor that is already doing what the apprentice dreams of someday doing. ----- We hope that each one of these insights we provide will serve as a useful lead to at least mailing list member. Give us some feedback about the kinds of predictions you want to hear. The goal of our predictions is to inspire readers, such as yourself, to take action and make the predictions come true. Our motto is: Looking to the Future . . . Acting Now. Best wishes, The Silicon Ball %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
