Visions and views, some would argue that they mean the same thing.
Vision according to Cambridge English Dictionary is defined as the ability to imagine how something could develop in the future, or the ideas that come from imagining in this way
Views on the other hand as defined by Cambridge English Dictionary is an opinion, belief, or idea, or a way of thinking about something.
Now, when we add these two principles together, you see how they are a major contributing factor to success. Let us take a more in-depth look at the subject
“Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.”
_Lex Luthor
Your views on everything matters more than you even begin to understand. I was reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and came across something that I would like to share with you.
The rich man would tell his son that "lack of money is the root of all evil"
A poor man would tell his son that "Love of money is the root of all evil"
Neither of them is wrong, only the perspective changes, the argument could go on forever and we still wouldn't have a winner. We often underestimate the power of sight, when I refer to sight I do not mean the ability to see with your eyes but the ability to see even beyond that.
What defines a person is their perspective. This same perspective is responsible for a person's success too. Have you ever heard of the story of any successful person without a vision?
Let us take read.cash as a case study to buttress this point. Many people joined this program to try and earn Bitcoin Cash, the early stage is always the most difficult especially when you are earning very little and Rusty rarely visits, after a while you just quit and leave but others stay. Why do you think they stayed? It's the vision, their perspectives, they know nothing good comes easy, you need to work for it, and patience and consistency are key. They don't mind the fact that they are earning a few cents at the moment, they are more focused on what needs to be done now to meet up with their future goals.
Take a look at all the successful businesses out there, it started with someone's Vision. The idea behind Facebook started with a vision, the idea behind Tesla started with a Vision. The idea behind noise.cash and read.cash also began with a vision. As you may well know, it is one thing to visualize a prospect and it is another thing to pursue it and make it a reality but it doesn't change the fact that it started with a Vision.
The writing prompt on what you would do with $590k was a test of the limit of your imagination, essentially a test of your vision as well as your views. These two things determine your success.
"A man without a vision is a man without a future", the wise King Solomon once said.
My Aunt once told us a story one evening during a Christmas holiday, I remember it vividly like it was yesterday, the smell of the chicken stew filled the room that evening. My cousins and I sat down on the mat as we listened attentively
It was a wonderful harvest, the villagers were so happy, it was a time for plenty and merry. Everyone sold what they could and ate to their feel, everyone except for Mr. Ede. Me Ede was a man gifted with foresight, he saw what people were doing and thought it foolish to waste such a good harvest this way. He decided to buy from other farmers who sold at a relatively cheap rate due to the abundance and stored them. The villagers called him stupid for not wanting to enjoy the blessings of the fruitful harvest. Of course, people will always talk.
Alas, the harvest wouldn't last forever, and a time of famine began. You see, Mr. Ede had a vision, he wanted to become a wealthy farmer, he also knew that the time of scarcity is when the value of goods will go up and he anticipated such an event as he saved towards it.
Me Ede made good of this opportunity to sell what goods he had stored for almost twice the amount he had bought it and from there made a lot of money.
That is a man with a vision. In more than one way I've shown you how visions and views are a detrimental factor to one's success. People will talk, they always do, but it's up to you to decide on what you choose to act on. Remember, the choice is always yours. Be the one with a vision, It is never too late.
