A Knight to Succeed

By Ron Knowles

Far away in the magical land of cyberspace there lived a beautiful princess. In another part of the land lived a handsome knight. Though far apart there common problem was the inability to attract new friends into their lives. Princess Affiliatey Attempti as well as Sir Francis Networker, both trained in the use of magic crystal balls could not attract new friends or possible mates to them.

Suspicious, Sir Networker had his MacCrystal Ball's operating system checked out but all was well. Across the kingdom, the resident warlock overhauled Princess Affiliatey's P-See Forever crystal ball. Alas, the two continually failed to attract new friends or find suitable mates.

Princess Affiliateys father had been monitoring his daughters failed attempts and advised her to cast a royal website to see what she could catch in the way of friends and possible suitors. A dutiful daughter she immediately set upon designing a website to rival all others. She peppered it with alluring products and tempting services from all over her realm. Still her web could snare few visitors and usually none. Devastated she retired to her tower, giving up her quest for popularity and marriage. No longer in the game she only used her P-See Forever to check on the weather or read recipes. Her sad story spread far and wide and although sympathetic to her plight nobody had a solution for her.

The sad tale of Princess Affiliatey's condition did not escape Sir Networker. Not wanting to experience the same failure he decided to do things differently. He would dedicate himself to learning those elusive lessons to success. He was even willing to project himself into the mystical realm of psychological adventure. Realizing that chasing after people was an exercise in futility he decided to become an adept sorcerer (one who lives by the source of infinite knowledge). Owning a highly-tuned MacCrystal Ball was only a small part of the solution in attracting friends and a possible mate. He vowed to absorb new techniques, change his ineffective habits and transform himself into a leader. He would become a magnetically charged knight.

Traveling here and there across the land Sir Networker soon learned to reject or to absorb the lessons of life he encountered. One night he decided to camp in a beautiful but secluded glen. The next morning in the slowly-swirling mist he perceived through his half closed eyes a beautiful fairy standing over him smiling. Multi-colored light emanated from her, caught on sparkling objects that slowly rotated around her. "I know that you're awake," she said. "Just as I knew you would come to see me. You have traveled far and wide for knowledge but your search ends here with me. If you stay with me awhile I will give you the gift of human magnetism. Wherever you go or whatever you do, you will know how to draw people to you."

Now fully awake, he sat up and peered at her intently. "Will I attract unique people to me and a fine woman for my wife," he asked? "Oh, yes," she replied smiling. "Will these people come with me on my campaigns? Will it be easy for me to recruit followers?" Lowering herself to sit before him, she looked at him seriously and said, "Becoming a magnet person, thousands of like-minded people will be drawn to you as their leader. As their leader you will teach them also, to become magnetic so they will attract people to them."

Why do you treat me with such kindness, he asked? Because for far too long I have observed people like you struggling to win people over to them. In order for them to become successful in their personal lives and their business lives they must be equipped to do so. For that to happen they must become magnetically charged. You are the first of many to come. Receive my gift and pass the knowledge on to others.

And so Sir Francis Networker learned the secrets of the beautiful fairy. Returning to his homeland he made many friends and married the damsel of his dreams. Armed with his new-found knowledge he fashioned his own web (site) and used the secrets of attracting thousands of people who happily allowed themselves to be caught up in his vision. He worked diligently teaching his acolytes about attracting people magnetically and later he became famous for coining the phrase, "Gird thy loins with a magnetic codpiece and thou shalt be known as most popular.
