Editor ’ s note
“ To see things in the seed , that is genius ,” said the Father of Taoism , Lao Tzu . To me , this seed is — but , of course — an idea , a dream , or even a new beginning … It is also where everything germinates with passion and then propels you to the next step : A plan of action .
But to dream is to also to believe because the importance of dreams is that they are in themselves the concept of a seed . Inspiration allows you to create and attain goals while offering an insight into championing your ideas with a personal touch .
In our first issue of Second U Magazine , we feature creators who dared to dream and believe that everything is possible in Second Life . By taking fresh ideas and putting them to work , they have achieved amazing results and what was , perhaps , once beyond their imagination . Each and every one of them have shared with us their determination and in watching their budding seeds grow . “ In the begining [ kunst ] started out as modern office furniture store inspired by the Bauhaus style .” Kunst Himmel reminisced . “ However , at the time , Second Life was an attractive place for real life companies to hold meetings with employees around the world , and I saw the opportunity to meet their needs with my products .” The possibility of impossibility had no existence in their imagination .
The same is true for Second U Magazine . I had an idea and roped in the creative minds I ’ ve found whom also believed in my “ original seed ”. We are very proud of our first edition and can only anticipate bigger and better things to come . This is only our first step and yours , too . Only because Second U Magazine is really about YOU , our readers , and we invite you to join us on this incredible ride .
But for now , we challenge you to dream and — always — dream big because dreams do come true !
