We rarely get tired when we are doing something interesting and exciting. — Dale Carnegie

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!!!

It’s another amazing week.

Thank you to the lot of you that reach out to say you loved some of the resources on FVS, and even share resources with me as well.

In case you are yet to write your vision and goals for the year, these can help.
Resource 1, Resource 2

Go Bold!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE SPIRITUAL? A RATIONAL ANSWER

“Right now, the knowledge we use to assert the laws of physics is based on only 5 percent of the Universe, with the remaining 95 percent being clouded away by dark matter and dark energy”

Currently, we are either theistic or materialistic, the authors’ opinion is belonging to dogmatically to one of these camps is a bad idea. Considering our understanding of our current world is very limited.
In plain terms, to be too religious and explain away everything as spiritual is lazy, and to be too scientifically driven and assert that all can be explained in linear rational terms is grossly ignorant.

HOW TO GAIN MORE ENERGY TO PURSUE YOUR LIFE’S GOALS

“Energy is the lifeblood of our everyday decisions and actions. It is also the fundamental key that goes into creating a well balanced, rounded and fulfilling lifestyle”

More energy is definitely one of my goals for 2019.
We all need energy to be interesting, hard-working, fun etc.
It’s all upside with more energy.
But sometimes we sabotage our energy with the things we eat or do.
This is a good read if you wanna have better positive vibes.

FACEBOOK’S ’10 YEAR CHALLENGE’ IS JUST A HARMLESS MEME — RIGHT?

“Our data is the fuel that makes businesses smarter and more profitable.”

A small conspiracy theory about the currently trending 10-year challenge.
Maybe, it is “social engineering” to get us all unsuspecting consumers to provide another big tech conglomerate with the required data to keep making more money.
Just Maybe :)

BOOK OF THE WEEK: HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE BY DALE CARNEGIE

“Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.”

One of the best books ever written on human relations.
I have been reading this book every year for the past couple of years.
Its one of my first readings at the beginning of the year to remind me of these timeless principles of human relations.
Highly recommended, if you want to master the art of relating with other human beings.
