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

Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon

  Book Cover (Source: Tapan Desai) Summary (informal) Everyone wants to become something in his life.  There’s no single formula to achieve one’s desired destination.  In this rapidly changing information climate, everything has become more competitive and less rewarding for those who do not pay more attention to details.  It is healthy to settle one’s mind to steal ideas productively from those who have experimented with them successfully.  There’s no harm in stealing ideas as there’s nothing as new to the world today given the scale of information exchange around the globe due to the Internet.  Since everything is already available on Google, one must go there and copy from authentic sources.  Make changes in it and sell it to the world. While you are working on the project, keep an eye on wrongs that might discredit the efforts.  Copying from a single person is plagiarism, but doing the same thing from more than one is research.  A good ar...

Why reading books is important?

There can be various aspects to this question. However, I will stick to a few points to convey to your mind why reading is an important exercise. Human is social being and to understand the world we need to learn new information constantly.  The learning must be slow and fast. No one can learn all the information available out there at once. For Humans to learn and that too authentic, a companion/teacher is required. Books can be trustworthy teachers in our lives. As we know, the human brain is a unique engineering tool. We can see things and make a judgment about them. We can hear the voice and make a particular opinion about it. We can walk on the ground and make an analogy of how it’s different from other parts of the world. We continuously improvise our ideas as we get updated information passing through our heads. This trait is unique and makes us better than Chimpanzee. Our minds require a continuous flow of information, and this information can be about anything, even the co...

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...
