Hi, this is another edition of “For Value Sake”. A weekly email newsletter, it contains a few articles, a book recommendation, a podcast, and a TED talk. These are the most impressionable resources I consumed during the week, and share them so you can reap some value as I did. The only goal is to add value.
I’ll send out a toolset soon to help you review 2018 and document your 2019 plan. Here’s how older editions looked like: (GYPD — Get Your Purpose Done).
HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE
“The secret to being a good conversationalist? Curiosity.”
If we have spoken at length, you might have noticed I have a curious mind. Some of us are naturally endowed with people skills some of us are not. For those who aren’t, there are skills you can pick up to make your engagements less boring.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET
“Depending on your platform, the number of followers you need will differ but the ways to make money are the same”
I made my first money not on the internet but from internet-related stuff. When my mates where hustling offline, I was hustling tech skills online.
Even up till date when people ask me how to make money the first thing that comes to mind for me is internet based.
This article is not a get rich quick internet money making piece, but it just gives you a sense of how your favourite online comedians and the rest make their dough.

PRIMER: DIGITAL HUMANS
“For extraordinary results, you need an extraordinary approach. For an extraordinary life, you need an extraordinary strategy.”
I am sure 99% of you have never heard of digital humans. Cos till a few days ago I didn’t know it was a thing. the Gorillaz, won a Grammy. Lil Miquela is an IG influencer.

BEING SINGLE IN YOUR 30’S IS A GLOBAL PHENOMENON
“To wait or not to wait”
It’s happening everywhere. People are marrying later. Flowing from the West. The more educated the more career driven a people are the more they delay. it’s not your village people, it’s a global phenomenon :)ᵜ ᵜ ᵜ ᵜ ᵜ
[TED TALK OF THE WEEK:
TRIBAL LEADERSHIP BY DAVID LOGAN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkKSJSqU-I)
“Life is Great!”
We all belong to different tribes and speak our tribal languages. And I don’t mean ethnicity, but socio-culturally. Dave grades all human beings into 5 tribes. We should all aim for Level 5, a place of shared values.

BOOK OF THE WEEK: PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION BY ISAAC ASIMOV
I haven’t really read a fiction in a really long time. I read Alaine de Botton’s “Course of Love” earlier in the year but that was fiction meshed with the psychology of relationships, so it wasn’t pure fiction.
I decided to delve into the Galactic Empire of Asimov, one of the prophets of science fiction to get inspiration for the kind of world I want to help create with my extraterrestrial venture.
This is one of the books that inspired Elon Musk to create SpaceX.
