I’ve always acted on and resonated with the quote “jack of all trades- master of none, still better than a master of one.” Yet, I’ve relatively greater interest in the social sciences as I experimented different fields through study, research, competitions, and events.
Why did I start The Vigilant Mind?
The name represents people who think for themselves, and do not go with the flow of society for only dead fish go with the flow.
- I express my opinions on matters of youth relevance like mental health, personal development, social issues, community causes, political issues, certain sociological and psychological concepts, etc.
- Through my work, I intend to break people out of the chains of stigma in various fields.
- I wish to inspire, empower, and educate through my content to create other vigilant minds.
- I use this a platform to express opinions that are often unspoken and may even be controversial.
- My personal goals always include the fulfilment of the goals of my team and those around me. I write content to aid readers in personal development, self awareness, and [non-toxic] productivity.
History of The Vigilant Mind
I never gave much attention to a world outside my PlayStation prior to 2014. Greater exposure to the Palestinian crisis was a turning point in my life. It was what showed me that AK-47 holding computer bots in games weren’t the only issues I had to fix. My activism and opinions mostly circled around in Google+ and Instagram. Eventually, as I noticed that readers liked the content and a few recommended that I should ‘preserve’ it, The Vigilant Mind came to be in October 2017.
Here are a few snippets of posts that are dedicated to my journey and experiences
