Great thinkers let their Minds go Wild

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science


We often tend to forget how important it is to appreciate ourselves for being the true warrior on this planet. The roles we have been given or maybe we consciously chose them, it’s true that we’re trying our best to do justice with those roles. History is first envisioned inside the mind and then applied to the ground field. All begin with minds thinking about those events to happen. There is rarely any event in the history of humanity that we could assume as unpredictable. It was human engineering that allowed for the events to happen in ways they took place.


Less than a century ago, this planet was confronted with an existential threat where the entire globe was divided into two sections and a fight for dominance came into momentum. Fortunately, it ended in 1945 with millions lay slain. Luckily in those darkest of hours when humans couldn’t fathom looking outside their homes, managed to survive.

The conjunction of the global community began as a result of a post egalitarian outburst. Scientific thoughts started shaping the world and democracy suddenly became a lifestyle. The king became liable to the law of land after 1789. These all great innovations took place because humanity allowed thinking to be a part of their cultural evolution. The greatest thinkers became the frontman representation of society and peasants headed towards hibernation.

Thinking is what made these greatest breakthroughs possible in our culturally complex societies. We started identifying ourselves as free beings. The end of tyranny became the classic beginning of egalitarianism. Men and Women both became equal pillars of society. Pluralism became our badge of honor.

Today, we stand united against all the pitfalls that want to trigger the clash of civilization. This is the creation of humanity. Without thinking, we would not have achieved these greatest milestones. It is because of those crazy humans who thought differently that we witness these changes happening around us today at a grass route level.

Nothing is possible without realizing the deeper meaning of what has been made normal around our social fabric in which we live, breath, and die. Establish different perspectives and you will start detecting the patterns in the culture that are functioning against its own very fabric. But no one realizes it until someone deliberately learns to look at them. It’s deep, and to dig deep you need sharp tools, like knowledge and awareness.

Knowledge allows the mind to go wild, and purposefully creates a space where real change takes place. A self-aware human always values reconciliation with the Universe. If today we are safe and happy, it is because of harmony with the Universe. It has resulted in peace for all, and we all have contributed to the peace-building on this planet.

It is because we chose to think and understand that we have got here where we are today. This understanding of the world might be okay for today but it doesn’t ensure a safe tomorrow. There are spoilers who want to reverse this progress that humanity has created after centuries of hard work. And it is upon us to not just safeguard today’s knowledge, but also make sure there is continuity in the knowledge creation to ensure a safe future for future generations. It is our moral obligation. Let the seekers lead from the front.

“You will do the greatest services to the state if you shall raise not the roofs of the houses, but the souls of the citizens: for its better that great souls should dwell in small houses than for mean slaves to lurk in great houses.” - Epictetus

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...

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...

It would be just another day in the life. You probably would be doing the same work on 1 st January 2022 like you were busy doing on 31 st of December, 2021.  Science suggests that having new goals and targets surely have an impact on life. Purpose gives reason to wake up earlier and start doing the work passionately. Jordan B. Peterson thinks that life without a formal schedule is a mess. You need to have proper planning in life. So if you missed doing any experiment with your life and want to improve productivity, this New Year's eve is the best chance to do it.
