Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary; from the computer in his parents' home he helps the US Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) find out the world's most wanted cyber criminals (网络犯罪分子).

    Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus (病毒) in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected (嫌疑) sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.

    Jonathan's special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the virtual crime-wave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother's football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e-security (电子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker trade.

    Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden's Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.

    Although he works with the FBI now and then, his family insists he's just “a regular kid”. “Jonathan is a great kid. He has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer.” his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”, not because he's looking for fame and recognition.

    When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus. Jonathan was too busy preparing a lecture on e-security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he has found the suspect and E-mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the “Melisa” virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.

    “This time I knew exactly where to start, I know what to disregard and what to look at.”

You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.

Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.

Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.

In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.

In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
