Author: Michel Contreras

Final Draft is the entertainment industry’s top selling software application for writing screenplays, television shows and stage plays. And with the Final Draft download, there is no need to wait for a package to arrive or for a CD ROM to install. Once you purchase, you receive a customer number. Then install it, enter the number and you are off and running, writing that award winning script that will make you the next hot property in the entertainment industry.

Final Draft is easy to use. No worrying about how to format your script, what font to use, or how to paginate. It’s all built in to the software so all you need to concentrate on is the writing. Just open the format you want to write in, whether it is a standard screenplay, a television sitcom, or a stage play. Final Draft takes care of all the rest. With its Tab and Enter system, Final Draft allows you to easily navigate from element to element, being Scene Heading, Action, Character, Dialogue, etc. You just hit either Tab or Enter to go from one to the other.

Some other cool features of the Final Draft download are the new Scene Navigator, which lets you track your scenes in a list form and easily sort the scenes to gauge the flow of your story. The new Scene Properties Inspector lets you colorize your scenes, add titles and notes without affecting the scenes in the actual script. Smart Type is a feature that makes it easy to enter characters, scene headings, transitions and more. Once you’ve entered any of these the first time, Final Draft stores this in a Smart Type list so that when you key in the first letter of any of these elements, the name or word pops up. Just hit enter and it places it in the script document. This way you don’t have to enter the information every time. It saves so much time, especially not having to enter the same characters over and over again. Collabowriter is another great feature that lets you work on a script with a partner or partners over the internet in real time. You can make changes or write scenes together and you can all see the progress on your screen at the same time.

The Final Draft download also provides additional instruction and tutorials to learn the program and help you with the writing process. There is a tutorial file included that, along with the manual, will teach you the basics and have you up and writing in minutes.

Do You Realize That You're Living Someone Else's Dream?

Author: Penny Phang

It's no secret that your relationships with others are enriched when you learn to appreciate one another for the little things (not just the big stuff). The same goes for feeling enriched in the life you live – regardless of your circumstances. When you learn to continuously appreciate the "little" things in life, only then will you discover an indestructible inner peace within – one that money cannot buy.

This is most evident in people who are less fortunate and yet able to stay in good spirits. They've found a way to maintain inner peace regardless of their situation.

I've come to know that part of the journey to finding inner peace is to understand life is so much more than what's happening in front of us. Just because we do not see it does not mean it isn't there. Just because we do not feel it does not mean it isn't happening. Your life, whether you believe this or not, is but only a dream for billions of people in this world.

Take thirty bucks for example: what's thirty bucks to you? How do you spend thirty bucks in a single day?

Now, what if I told you, in most poverty stricken countries, thirty bucks can provide a child three nourishing meals a day, proper education and medical care for one full month?

In 1994, through World Vision, I sponsored a 5-year-old child in Zimbabwe, Africa, for thirty dollars a month. Her name was Lasi Sibanda. We stayed in touch by mail. However, four years ago, she sent me a letter expressing her deepest gratitude for my sponsorship. The funds have raised her well—she completed school and was working.

What I didn't know was that the funds also helped her family become self-sufficient and in turn, were able to contribute in helping their community. They no longer needed my help. Instead, I was kindly led to sponsor 4-year-old Doreen Komunjumba in Uganda, Africa. It was then that I truly grasp the notion of what thirty dollars can do.

Lives can be empowered… A better future can take shape…

Sadly, many people think of the world as a compartmentalized entity that is made up of various countries. Some of these countries are rich, some poor. Some are over populated, and some under populated. Some are rich with natural resources, others are barren and infertile.

However, where we as individuals fit into this scheme, some may say it's the luck of the draw and others may say it's a choice we can make for this particular lifetime.

If you were born in a region of the world that happens to be rich with resources, or economically prosperous, you're more likely to not worry about where to go for food, what disease you may die of tomorrow, or who will take care of you when you're sick.

The reality is that we are all inhabitants of this single place called earth, and there is no reason why one person arbitrarily born in one country should live in poverty, while others born in another country live a relatively lavish lifestyle.

Imagine for a moment…if the world was one country. Then imagine that the world president started allocating land to all the citizens. How would you feel if you were randomly given a piece of land which turned out to be a desert barren of life, while your next door neighbor ended up on top of a gold mine? Obviously you would think it was unfair, right?

Well then imagine if your rich neighbor started using their wealth and influence to make your life even more difficult by taking what little resources you had, and polluting your environment. That is exactly what happens today between developed and undeveloped countries.

It is a fact that rich nations would not be wealthy if there were not poor nations to support us. We could not possibly afford our products if it wasn't for people working in factories for less than a dollar a day, nor could we afford to feed ourselves if it wasn't for the billions of people farming in developing countries for less than three hundred dollars a year.

We would not be able to buy prawns if it wasn't for the tens of thousands of prawn farms in south east Asia and south America—as there is no way developed societies would allow this environmentally damaging practice to take place in our own backyard.

Examples like these are endless, but they show that the developed world's standard of living, for the most part, is supported by the demise of others.

It is not one person that created the divide between the developed world and the developing world, nor can one person fix the issues. Therefore, we as "global citizens" all have a social and moral obligation to help each other to enable a safe and healthy life for all.

Keep this in mind when you're ready to donate to a charity of your choice. After all, what does thirty bucks mean to you? A cheap sweater? Five Starbucks coffee? For the less fortunate, it means much more; it means a chance for health and education, hope for the future and a great reason to live.
