The Vision

Talking about coincidences...the same night that I posted "The Inspiration", I was inspired during the session in my private world...my toilet...shitting of course...and those ideas just came flowing in unstoppably and it grew and grew (Not talking about the shit...hahaha...)...immediately after, I just have to type them and send it out...at 7am... Eventually, will it be executed??? Well, we'll see...

Anyway, everyone should be very familiar with Tun Dr Mahathir's Vision 2020...now, Najib has 1Malaysia...whatever... They are however, Visions...but I'm not talking about the country's development or the country's politics that hogs more than half of every newspaper every day...I'm talking about the vision, Your Vision.

Do you have a vision, a vision of yourself 2years from now, 5years, 10years...and beyond?

What do you think you'll doing 5years from today?

This subject came to me when I was typing "The Inspiration" uninspiredly...in fact, the subject grew on me immediately and I continued typing this inspired...hehehe...strange isn't it? Well, not so strange if you've read "The Inspiration"...(Hard Selling again...).

Lately, I've been using the word quite frequently...almost every conversation can lead or has links to the word, vision.

Just the other day, we sat down to discuss the company's direction...where are we today...where do we want to be tomorrow...most importantly, where does the leaders want to lead the company toward and how. The million dollar question is, what is the leader's vision?

With a clear sight on the leader's vision, everyone else will also be able to see and share that same vision. Understanding the requirement and work towards that vision as a team. From The Vision, translate it into actionable long term goals and set short term objectives to meet them...from company level to departmental level and down to personnel level.

On a more personal note, if you do have a vision of your future, do you know how to achieve it? Are you taking necessary steps to inch closer everyday?

If any of the answer is a "No" or a "Maybe", then you are actually wasting every minute of your time...working like a robot without the capacity to "Think" and "Move" into a better future.

If the answers are "Yes" and you know how to meet your goals. Then, congratulations! Well done!! Move faster!!! Hahaha...

If the answers are "Yes, but...", then, consult with someone that you look up to and/or get an idea from those that has made it...

Always remember this, along the way, visions can be crystalised, expanded while it can also be blurred. Check and Measure to ensure you are on the right track is also very crucial to reach the desired results.

In some of the previous posts, it does sounds like "preaching" & "In your face"...however, if you read them and not moved by it...or change your approach after the self realisation, then the intention of this blog is really, not met.

Every subject has a point. Every point has a rationale. Every rationale has a history. Most importantly, action need to be taken even if the mindset has changed. Without the action steps, it's merely words and wishful thinking. The danger, regrets...

Earl Nightingale (An author and motivational speaker) quoted - "Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us."

We need to put in the effort to obtain what we want in life...things don't just fall on our lap from the sky...we've gotta earn it...

At 40, my "Vision" is still very much obtainable. I am still learning, improving, so that I can meet it...and meet it, some day soon.

After all, I'm only 40 and I'm still me...and in reality, a Chun Toi with Cracks.
