Here's the Transcription of this session
Sang: what is my value ?
ChatGPT: As a language model AI developed by OpenAI, I don't have personal information about individuals unless it has been shared in the course of our conversation. I don't have the ability to assess personal worth or values. Each person is unique and valuable in their own way, and your value is not something that can be determined by an AI. Your worth is multifaceted and influenced by your relationships, accomplishments, character, and more. If you have specific questions or topics you'd like information or advice on, feel free to ask!
Sang: I'm a video editor, a photographer, a writer, an illustrator and a children's book author. What is my value and how can I add value to other people's lives
ChatGPT: Your diverse skill set as a video editor, photographer, writer, illustrator, and children's book author is undoubtedly valuable. Here are some ways you can add value to other people's lives:
- Tell Compelling Stories: Utilize your skills in video editing, photography, writing, and illustration to tell engaging and meaningful stories. Whether it's through visual content, articles, or children's books, storytelling has the power to entertain, educate, and inspire.
- Capture Moments: As a photographer, you can capture special moments in people's lives, preserving memories that will be cherished for years to come. Your ability to capture emotions and create visually stunning images adds significant value to individuals and families.
- Educate and Inspire: Share your knowledge and expertise in video editing, writing, and illustration. Create tutorials, guides, or articles that help others learn and improve their skills. Inspiring and educating others in your field can be incredibly valuable.
- Create Engaging Content: With your video editing and illustration skills, you can produce content that captivates audiences. Whether it's for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes, engaging content has the power to connect with people and leave a lasting impression.
- Children's Book Authorship: Your role as a children's book author allows you to contribute to the development and imagination of young minds. Through your books, you can instill important values, promote diversity, and create a positive impact on children's lives.
- Offer Creative Solutions: Use your creativity to solve problems. Whether it's designing visually appealing materials, crafting compelling narratives, or developing innovative concepts, your creative skills can provide solutions in various contexts.
- Collaborate and Share: Collaborate with other creatives and share your knowledge and experiences. Building a community and supporting others in your field can enhance the overall value you bring to the creative community.
Remember that your value extends beyond your skills – it includes your unique perspective, creativity, and the positive impact you can have on individuals and communities. Continuously honing your craft and staying open to new ideas and collaborations will contribute to your ongoing growth and the value you bring to others.
Sang: if you can sum up what my one core job can be what would it be
ChatGPT: Your core job, considering your diverse skill set, could be seen as a "Creative Storyteller." In this role, you integrate your skills in video editing, photography, writing, and illustration to craft compelling and engaging stories across various mediums. Whether through visual content, written narratives, or children's books, your focus is on conveying messages, emotions, and ideas that resonate with and add value to your audience's lives.
Sang: thank you so much for this insight! this REALLY helps
ChatGPT: You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that the insights were helpful. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, feel free to ask. Best of luck with all your creative endeavors!
In conclusion I am atleast in 2024 a "Creative Storyteller"
Have you ever thought of doing something and you don’t get to it immediately and you end up never doing it? The moment you struggle to do something it’s probably because of left it to the last minute. This can be detrimental to your job or relationships and end up being the reason you have a lot of drama because you’re not doing the thing you promised you would. This is also a silent killer for creativity.

My mothers sister my aunt went to be with Jesus today. She lived a life of blessing and active faith. From her beautiful voice, to singing in the church when my mother and her other sister were young to being a wonderful wife, a beautiful mother. She was my aunt and used to wake me up with showers of kisses during my visits to her home during my holidays. Many of the ways I show love to my daughter is inspired by the way she loved me. She always held on faithful in her walk with Jesus and also was active on Facebook and Instagram! She was the coolest. We will miss you so much Pemma. But I’m also happy that you will be reunited with my uncle Peppa and my brother Sam. We will always celebrate the blessing she was in my life. She loved my daughter as much as she loved me. She loved my husband like he was her son. I’m grateful for her testimony. This podcast sheds some light on how people deal with death, a lesson to learn I’d say.

Having a kid and engaging them constantly isn’t always easy. Some days we get it right and other days we don’t. Ive applied this method to give my kid to give her a well rounded exposure to extra curricular activities through the week. And over time, she began to pick and chose the activities she enjoyed the most and do them more on her own free time. This takes a lot of pressure off me, and allows me to do my work. Ive found a healthy balance between play time, studies and teaching alternative hobbies. I’m sharing my secret. Here is a look at my take on Weekly Activities for Kids.
