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.
Yo!!! Hope you are having an amazing week.
Are you living? Really?
In case you are yet to write your vision and goals for the year, these can help. Resource 1, Resource 2
Make God proud!
WHY WE DOMINATE THE EARTH
“Why did Homo sapiens diverge from the rest of the animal kingdom and go on to dominate the earth?”
I have been asking some of my close friends a question recently. What is God’s vision for man? Is it the commandment in Genesis 1: 28; Subdue, Dominate, Multiply … or Is it the commandment in Math 28:19; Go make disciples. So far the answer is every man has a DNA for the first commandment, Christians have an extra encoding that enables them to do the later. Yuval has a “scientific” explanation for why Homo Sapiens dominate. Oya lets see what he has to say.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR MOOD
“Things will never go your way all the time”
This year, I have taken responsibility for my energy. I have always advocated “great”, “conscious”, “amazing” energy!. This year, I have refused to have my energy be “reactive” but a “proactive”. Here’s a short piece on keeping your mood under wraps.

IS BIG TECH MERGING WITH BIG BROTHER
“In Fact, BIG tech and the surveillance agencies are already partners.”
Are we going into a world where the “big tech”, i.e Facebook’s and Google’s have so much data on us that they know more about us than we know about ourselves? The recent Cambridge Analytica scandal shows us how much peoples data on these platforms can be used to manipulate the people. Tech has the potential for enabling corporations and governments with the power to monitor us to an unbelievable granularity.

[BOOK OF THE WEEK:
HOW TO SELL YOURSELF BY ARCH LUSTBERG](https://www.amazon.com/How-Sell-Yourself-Revised-Leadership/dp/1564149986)
You gotta do it, people, nobody’s gonna do it for you. I’m sorry.
Like a wise man once said, “we are always selling, selling our beliefs, our work, our values, our friends, our family”. There’s one thing that If people don’t buy, they won’t buy anything else you are selling. And that is yourself.
And who knows how great and awesome you are more than you?

If you want the book, holla and I’ll send you an e-copy.
