WRITING a book is not easy though it seems so, especially if you start with a serious idea that you think will educate and inform. I have had a persistent and nagging voice that kept pushing me to write down things since I was 6 — what I like to call my awakening as a human being to all the colors and smells of the planet. I knew ten years ago when I started working like everybody else that I needed to fulfill my destiny, that I needed to write since it is my primary goal in life; However, I did not bank on the challenges that I would face just by starting the project.
I know, by now, that many will think that the theme of my book must be a difficult one since it has made all this impact on me. I beg to differ with you my dear readers. It is, in fact, the most simple idea any brain can reach. The catch is that it is so simple in a new difficult age and time. The number seven is the key to many successful ideas and orders, and any new order of things must include this fascinating number. Which to me builds up the momentum of my book ideas.
First: Why we are here? Where are we going?
Second: The world population
Third: Education and free minds
Fourth: New frontiers
Fifth: Technology and human race
Sixth: One earth
Seventh: New world order
(A must)

Dear Nadia, I am an outdoor person and cannot imagine being locked into an office. Recently I have been recruited to do a six-month freelance job in Saudi Arabia. I would love to know if there are outdoor sports besides scuba diving.

Dear Gareth, Saudi Arabia has mountains, coral reefs, ancient tombs, volcanoes, caves and vast beautiful sand dunes. We can start with the spectacular coral reefs of the Red Sea, the monumental Nabatean tombs and sandstone sculptures of Madain Saleh along with the rugged mountains of Abha. The vast sand dunes are wonderful for sand surfing, if you are interested.
Conquering the black and white volcanoes of Harrat Khayber Lava Field (sometimes called the old Jewish area) which is located only 190 kilometers north of Jeddah but which has only been seen by a handful of people so far is quiet the experience.
Creeping through Desert Caves is another adventure. People living in the central and Eastern parts of Saudi Arabia have easy access to the mystical desert caves of Summan Plateau. The list is endless and the fun is waiting.
