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…

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...
