Adeel stared at the latest messages on his screen, feeling the weight of disappointment settle in his chest. He had poured his time and energy into this group, hoping to inspire real action, yet all he found was endless chatter. The conversations circled back to irrelevant topics, and his input went unnoticed. He typed a message, urging them to focus, but it was quickly drowned out by the noise. He sighed deeply, knowing this was a familiar pattern.
Adeel thought about his journey from construction sites in Dubai to classrooms in Mexico, and the startups he had tirelessly built. He had always believed that action spoke louder than words. He had experienced the satisfaction of real work, the kind that left tangible marks on the world. Yet, here he was, entangled in discussions that led nowhere. As the sun rose higher, he realized he couldn't continue this futile cycle.
Bhai had sent him a message, asking why he was angry. Adeel picked up the phone, feeling the urge to vent his frustrations. But instead of lashing out, he paused, taking a deep breath. "I'm not angry. I'm just tired," he typed slowly, choosing his words with care. "Tired of people thinking that talking is the same as doing. If you really want change, don’t waste time in these groups. Go out. Build something. Fix something. Help someone. That’s the only way the world changes."
Adeel knew he had real work to do. The endless debates and theoretical discussions were not his burden to bear. He needed to channel his energy into tangible efforts, ones that could make a difference. As he stepped away from the screen, a sense of liberation washed over him. He was ready to leave the noise behind and embrace the silence of purposeful action.
Adeel glanced out at the bustling streets, the people moving with purpose. He felt a renewed sense of clarity, understanding that real change required more than just words. He resolved to invest his time in projects that mattered, to build and create rather than debate. As he turned away from the window, he felt a sense of peace. The path ahead was uncertain, but it was one he was ready to walk.
Adeel knew that somewhere, in some other group, another pointless debate was starting. But he wouldn't be a part of it. He had made his choice, to focus on action rather than words. As he picked up his tools and prepared for the day, he felt a quiet resolve settle within him. The world was waiting, and he was ready to make his mark.
