Without a direction, we are at severe risk!

Without a clear vision, we don’t have a direction!

So, if a=b=c, then, a=c,

Which means, without a clear vision, we are at a

severe risk!

The Elements of Meaningful LifeMeaningful life has the following four elements:

3. Competence: Competence is the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) that are required for our visions. For example, our vision of scaling Mount Everest requires a minimum set of knowledge, skills and abilities.

4. Leadership: Leadership is defined as the ability to share our vision with others and to inspire and facilitate others in pursuing the shared vision. The key element behind the ability to inspire others to pursue the shared vision is a character worthy of the vision.

“Some viewed vision as about having a crystal-ball

picture of the future marketplace. Others thought in

terms of a technology or product vision, such as the

Macintosh computer. Still others emphasized a vision

of the organization-values, purpose, mission, goals,

images of an idealized workplace. Talk about a muddled

mess! No wonder so many hardnosed practical businesspeople

were highly skeptical of the whole notion of vision; it just seemed

so –well--fuzzy, unclear and impractical.”-Jim Collins

Why Vision?

1. It gives us Direction.

2. A vision greatly reduces the risk of

realizing the Worst Case Scenarios in

Life.

3. It gives us Motivation.

4. It helps us to Fight Adversity.

5. If we don’t have a Clear Vision, we risk

becoming the instruments of an

Undesired Vision.

6. It helps us Select Some of Our Roles.
