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.

7 lessons I learned from the Al Chemist

Lesson #1:- Humans are tested with calamities and challenges to build a stronger intellectual ground where they can protect their lives and become able to create a better world for future generations. Those who risked their lives and followed their dreams, they have got the victory. And those who did not risk, and played it safe, merely stopped where they needed to start. Lesson #2:- Santiago in the search of his legend (true inner self) encountered challenges and a few close calls to death. In the search for treasure, he fearlessly bids on his life by selling his sheep to an old King joins a crystal shop in an unknown part of Africa, and finally embarks on the longest journey towards the Pyramids of Egypt. His passion to find the unknown treasure based on his audacious belief in omens led him to overpower all the negative forces that could have stopped him from achieving his legend. Quote “If you believe in yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, t...

This is why evidence in conversation matters?

Here are a few big question marks? Why should one believe in storytelling when there’s little space for the question? Is it reliable what you're listening to? What is the truth? What makes a person qualified for any opinion? “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” – Carl Sagan The human thinking pattern relies on storytelling. As Yuval Noah Harari in his book “Sapiens” calls humans the social beings with close proximity to story beings. Humans communicate with each other through storytelling. It is an easier and more fun method to continue the conversation for a longer time. Sometimes, stories get to a certain level where the fine line between truth and false gets thinner. It becomes a hell sort of challenge to distinguish the words as true or false especially when it’s coming out of a person close to one in relations. Most of us grew up in an environment where many people could express their thoughts without any fear of being questioned. Age was considered ...

What is a Wasteman Loop & How to avoid it?

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What is a wasteman Loop? For the past few days, I have been doing a lot of social media surfacing without realizing the effects of it on my productive life. I was so indulged in social media scrolling, liking, and sharing weird cat posts that I never realized I was wasting more than 4 hours per day of my precious life. Being into some business where there is no return value or profit is what I call a wasteman loop. Every once in a while I return to this wasteman life and I have to push myself again to keep focused on the main objectives in life. This on and off productivity is what I call the loop. I’m constantly worried about two things to happen in my life, first, when I start wasting my time on social media or any other stuff that adds zero value to my life, second, the continuous fight with consistency to not return to wasteman life and still end up becoming the wasteman I loathe. How does it affect your productivity? Being a wasteman has...
