The power of vision.

The video's central message is how by envisioning our future, we can make our lives richer. It says that in though times, people only think about the present and forget about the future. And this capacity to think about, dream and envision the future is what distinguishes leaders from managers.
Inspired by Frank Pollack (The image of the Future), Benjamin Singer, and Victor Frankl (Man's search for meaning), the author Joel Arthur Barker created this motivating and inspiring movie about the power of vision. According to him, Vision is the result of dreams and action. Significant vision precedes significant success. Leaders envision, share their vision with communities (create a supporting structure and motivate people to extraordinary achievement) , and make the vision a reality.
The video also talks about values as the way to measure the rightness of our directions; they protect us from making unethical decisions. However, values don't determine direction. To determine direction is the role of vision
My vision of the future is to finish school at the end of this year, to move back to Brazil, and get a great job in the marketing communications field. I envision to stay there working for 2 years and then go to London to do my MBA.
Everyone must have a dream. It is key for our futures. And education is essential to achieving our dreams.
I envision spending time with my family who I have been apart for 9 years and catch up with my country, culture and favorite places and things I miss so much.
I plan to achieve my vision by being loyal to my values and working hard. Being proactive, smart, and ethical is a good strategy to getting where I want to!!!
I learned a lot while living here in New York and I'm sure I'm ready to stop dreaming and act towards my vision.
I know I can make it!!!

  1. Do you have a passion for this vision? It does not come across here. It sounds like you are on a predetermined path that is leading you...where? Find your passion! The journey through life is more exciting when you find something to embrace.

  2. I think it's great that you wanna go back to your country and work there for a little while. Im not sure if I'll do it right after my college but I might do so later on in my career. Also your goal of getting your MBA in London sound very interesting, and I think if you do so your education will get exposer to different schools and approaches that will definitely will be a positive experience to have.
    I wish you luck in fulfilling your dreams.
