The video, although very cheesy and humorous, did present very valid points. I agree completely that holding a vision of the future will guide you towards it (I liked that rope across the river analogy). I think this fact holds true especially when future prospects look grim - a similar situation to the one the kids from the elementary school in Harlem were facing.
I have a few visions for my future on the back of my mind, but that's where they are - on the BACK OF MY MIND! Well without further ado, here are a few of them:
> Build a application which takes financial data from the web and calculates financial data for the user. (Could be used as part of a bundle of apps sold by major brokerages)
> Make a base for myself in London, England: the home to the football club I love - Arsenal FC. I would very much like to visit there time and again to watch the matches in person.
These are the long term goals. It will be long before either of these come true; I need knowledge and experience before I can make that application I have planned. The short-term action goals are to secure a job in the programming sector of a financial services organization. With that, I could gather enough knowledge and experience in order to make my application.
I so like vision nymber two!
ReplyDeleteIf you do end up being uber successful, having a second home base in London would be just great if you want to unwind.
We can't be all work and no play.
Much success to you.
I really like your second and third visions, because i am also a fans of Arsenal FC. I think you are really doing for what you vision now. because “vision=dreams + action,”.
ReplyDeleteI think your visions of the future are very clear. You know exactly where and how to start your career. I believe you will get the things you want if you working hard.Good luck.
ReplyDeleteAll big hits started with ideas from the back of their mind. Your vision of the future is planned from a to z, there is 100% chance that you'll be working from your home in London while watching futboll. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteBro if you achieve your first vision of that application (before anyone else does and make it unique), then you don't have to worry about any other visions. Forget about making a base in London to go watch Arsenal play, you can make the emirates your base and make Arsenal play when you want.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on your goals
P.S: I thought your first goal would be to get the marketing paper in though :P
Congratulations on your vision!
ReplyDeleteRemember that big corporations began with visions and by working on their visions and being loyal to them, they became big.
For example, Toyota's vision was and is to be the best and the bigger car's company in the world. Sony's vision was to provide entertainment to everyone.
So, you have your initial vision which is to build an application. And you know how to work in order to realize it.
By being loyal to your goals you can become big.
Good Luck!
I think it is important to have a vision that is measurable and precise. I think that your goals are very precise. You seem to know what you really want. Good Luck!
