Your Goals Must Meet Your Intellectual Capacity

Intellect is your Super Power

First of all, let me tell you this, there is nothing on this planet that you cannot achieve no matter how difficult it is. Man is destined to reach his goal eventually.

Those who reach the summit earlier while others get stranded know the correct direction from early on as the journey starts. This journey is not about physical travel even though that is not much different from the skill I’m going to talk about. This skill is about navigating your way through the correct intellectual capacity to reach your goals.

People often miscalculate the relationship between success and intellectual capacity. One can find lots of people who are great at certain things while at the same time they don’t know how to communicate effectively and influence others. It might not hinder their way up to a great job but it can certainly cut off their chances of reaching the highest level in any organization that only lay after great communication skills.

To gain maximum benefits, one must need to articulate skills relatively on the intellectual side that met the goals and ambitions one has in life. It is easy to read and ignore but hard to act on it.

Picture this in your mind:

To climb a certain height on Mount Everest, one must calculate its implications before starting the adventure. You cannot climb Mount Everest because you heard from any random source that it’s the tallest mountain on this planet. You have to actually strategize the whole adventure, find safe routes and shortcuts, look at the weather and temperature, and much more than that. This process of brainstorming is a practice to up-level your intellectual capacity to decide to climb Everest. Without reaching the level of intellect that one needs to have to climb Mount Everest, it’s impossible to climb it. Your climb would be successful if you planned correctly based on the exact level of intellect needed to execute it.

Similarly, to get your dream job or pass the exam, you need to reach a certain intellectual level where the job exists or the exam be cracked. It would be hard to achieve your goals when in your mind, you're thinking about Mercedes; however, doubts don't let you think further from Suzuki Mehran.

Emily Elizabeth Dickenson: The greatest Poet

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, - And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. - I’ve heard it in the chilliest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. In the thorns, we found strength and in flowers we found pain. That is the situation you caught in when you read the lines of Emily Dickenson. The finest poet of the 19 th century enlightened with the figments of death and immortality in her words. Emily is a great American poet and deserves to be known across the globe for her art. Her writing had brought her to a point where there was no fear to be afraid of. Not even her death. America at that time was facing some identity challenges as women were yet to be emancipated from their Kitchens and there were no vote ri...

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan: A Nuclear Scientist

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Unsung Pakistani Hero Pakistan has faced tremendous security issues from its eastern border since its inception. Security was a big challenge for Pakistan back then and still today. However, things have changed since Pakistan developed its Nuclear Weapons. Due to Nuclear power, Pakistan feels calm as the intensity of warfare has substantially lowered down to a small magnitude since it became a Nuclear Weapon state on 28 May 1998. And without the magnificent contributions of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and Dr. Abdul Salam, it would have taken Pakistan another century to build a nuclear deterrent to the scale it has reached today. This morning, the legendary Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan’s (April 1, 1936 – October 10, 2021) soul has departed this mortal world; however, the legacy of his life’s achievement would live on and continue to enlighten the scientific society in Pakistan for centuries to come. Today is the moment to go back in...

Seek Understanding: Unlock opportunities by applying self-awareness mantra in your life

Waqar Ahmed | CEO Science of Everything When we hear something, it is important to know that it’s just an opinion, not a fact. Friends and colleagues have the right to say anything they want, but keep that in mind, you also have the same right to speak out your mind. It does not matter what is right and wrong as long as it is not disrespectful. Arguments are the building locks to unlock human creativity. When someone argues constructively without making any personal attack, we must learn to appreciate it, no matter how opposite it may sound to our belief. As the Greek stoic philosopher, Epictetus says very eloquently, ‘Caring about the one inevitably means you are going to shortchange the other.’ Great innovation happens when great minds come to a middle ground leaving behind their insecurities for the benefit of the greater good of society. Of course, everyone has their own biases and selfish interests, but we cannot make a huge difference alone. Therefore, collective understandi...
