THE CONCEPT OF SUCCESS - Have a vision


Vision is something that you anticipate or decide to do .In real life sense or practically, it is the outcome of effective argument and fair judgment. In much more simple terms, the end result of one's decision in life is his vision. Mission also on the other hand is the immediate action or steps taken to achieve a vision. The two words always go together as it said that

“Vision without a mission is meaningless and mission without a vision is also meaningless”

Abrouf M. Kishki (Public Lecture- 2008).

The Wright brothers devised a means to fly, which was their vision. Their mission however was to sit down and make the necessary calculations and procedures to make that happen. Therefore, for someone to achieve success in life the most important part which is also the practical aspect is the mission. Vision however is easy to get, thus to a lay man but actually, the setting of the vision is very important. If a vision is obtained after effective argument and fair judgment, then the mission is bound to be very easy. The question that one should ask him or herself is; what are the things to consider when choosing my vision? Indeed, to most philosophers, the best way for one to become successful is to identify his or her talent and develop it. Without under estimating the above statement, it is also true that man is the best of himself and that everyone is the true reflection of him or herself.  Some people know what they are very good at and to them this procedure of choosing a vision is not a problem at all because they already know what their vision already is. Indeed, the world needs you for what you are and not for whom you are. If Mohammed Ali wanted to be a philosopher and Martin Luther Kings Jnr. wanted to be a boxer, then their names would not have been heard at all. They did what they could do best and that is what the world needed them for. This is how success becomes easy for someone who already knows his talent. If so, then does it mean that one cannot become successful if one does not know his or her talent? Does it also mean the fact that I have desire for something since childhood then that is what I must become? Does it mean that if I start with something there should not be a change? The answers to these questions are No!!There are numerous heroes who started with one thing and ended with another. That does not mean the initial was not their talent or they could not do it to the best or their ability, but it is a matter of effective argument and fair judgment because at the end of the day, there should only be one. Remember that talent itself can be adopted, learned and pursued to its highest peak. The numerous things that you consider as talents should not be misunderstood to be possibilities because one of them is likely to be pursued unlike possibilities which are only imaginary.
