Talking to Miss. Universe! (POEM)

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science


POEM

You are living in this world, so you’re a part of this Universe.

Your existence is unbridled and unavoidable.

Listen to the sounds of nature; it calls for something all time.

I cannot hear that voice, am I deaf?

Universe is the name of peace, have you experienced?

I’m in a part of world, full of distortions, injustice waves on top.

This is not my creation; I’m Ms. Universe, infallible and unfathomable.

Your inside certainly needs some guidance though!

Is that the case, let them fix it by themselves, I’m busy.

People are not sane to understand your plight, Ms.

They are and they will.

How?

They have to figure this out; God bestowed upon them the intellect.

I’m a human but I can’t think of a better solution to this mess.

You’re human; little is your known conscious.

Then how am I going to fix the inside of yours?

Let it be; you better focus inside yours!

Why so?

Change you want to see comes always from inside.

What can I do to reform my inside?

Listen to the sounds of nature, it has messages in it.

I’m busy solving the riddles of this messy life.

You are sure busy, but not as much as you pretend it to be.

Oh. Ms. Universe, do you talk to God?

Yes, I do all the time.

Ask him to help humans; they’re ignorant of their existence!

God has already given me the answer to your question.

What was the answer, please?

Humans have to figure out the solution.

Is God helpless?

No, he’s the most generous and helpful.

Then, why he doesn’t want to intervene?

God is here to help you only when you ask him for it.

I’m asking for his help.

What about your fellow billions?

I don’t know about them.

Listen, I’m tired of your questions.

I’m just looking for a better life.

Then go help others.

Why?

Many are lost in their journey to the hereafter.

Am I rightly in the correct direction?

It’s you who has to figure this out.

Oh. Universe, I’m lazy, I don’t have time for all this.

Then go sleep have daydreams.

Is it anger?

No, it’s the real you, living at the time.

How come, I’m talking to you?

You’re only here to find ease, not the solution of problems.

I think I better go back and watch YouTube.

You better deserve that.

Was that again a taunt?

I’m Universe, I don’t trade these things.

Alright, I will come back to you again.

Hoping not to see you again, Bye…

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...

New Year's Gift - 2022

  Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What would be a better gift than changing personal thoughts from being negative to a positive person? It is okay to be cynical, it allows us to vent out our anger, but that’s not the permanent solution to a Human’s mental frame. We need to have a peaceful mind to make better judgments about our own life for the long run. That’s why it is important to have some positive life aspects. Without positivity, it would not be an easier job to find the truth and make the right decisions. The reality of life is deeply connected with the nature of reality, and without any pursuit of truth, we cannot find reality in life. This year, let’s begin by making this resolution that, no matter what, I will always find something positive about everything. It will help get rid of the trash (useless thoughts) inside of our minds and make us a better version of ourselves.

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...
