In life, without vision, there is bound to be no actualization of any mission. Vision is the foundation and architect of success, the currency and raw material of purposeful living. As a student, worker, or anything good you find yourself doing, vision is very important if you want to come out fine at the end of the day. The difference between a visionary man and one, who doesn’t have vision, can be likened to the difference between the eagle and other birds. No other bird has been known to possess greater vision than this bird. The eagle is a BIRD OF VISION; it sees farther than any bird you can ever think of. When other birds are seeing a few compounds, the eagle is seeing a whole town/community. It is vision that sets the pace for you to follow in everything you do. Without having a plan of what you are set to achieve in an academic year or a semester, as a student, what impact you want to make in your office or area of operation, you are bound to have setbacks in your studies and even beyond. Having vision means knowing what you are to do and how you set to achieve that. It is master plan detailing how you will go about realizing your goals. Vision means that as school opens its arms, welcoming students, you already have an objective; your plan as relating to the semester. You might not want to wait till exams are in “your corner” before you start preparing for it. WHY YOU NEED VISION? 1. FOCUS: Any high-achiever must be focused to bring his dream to reality. Vision gives you a clear path to tread on your way to excellence. You know how it works? Okies, I will let you know how it works. A man was going on a journey to far-away land. He prepared everything he needed for the journey to this unknown land but he never got a description of the place; he never counted it useful take the address of the particular house he was going to. Eventually, he got to the unknown land and set out to look for the house. However, he kept wandering around the place, because he never knew the house he was to visit; he had no address (vision) of where he was going to. After roaming round the unknown land and night drew close, he was attacked by robbers who took away all he had. The following morning, he was stranded with no money/means of going back. Lack of vision brings destiny attack and hijack.You see, when you don’t have a vision of where you are going to or what you want, you become like chaff that is tossed by the wind, to any direction. The man wandered round the whole town because he had no address (vision) of where he was going to. Vision keeps you going when there are many things seeking for your attention in life. As a student, it is what makes you ward off peer pressure and other things that might stand in your way to actualizing your academic goals. When you have an academic vision, you wouldn’t be “gisting away” your time when you have an unfinished assignment. When you are without vision, no matter how “loaded” you are, you will be a waste to your generation. No one with vision lacks focus; see thou a man with focus, and I will also show you a man with vision. 2. GUIDIANCE/DIRECTION: When a man has vision of what he wants to do, he spends less time beating about the bush. Because he knows what to do at a particular time, he is not prone to experimenting to find out what he is going to do. That was what happened to the children of Issachar in the bible. They had vision and knew what Israel ought to do per time, which made their brethren to be at their command. Show me a man that knows what to do per second, and I will show you one who has a vision of where he is going to in life. 3. FULFILLMENT: It is hard to see a man with vision moaning about how difficult life is. You see when you have vision of where you are heading to in life; you wouldn’t be disappointed when things seem not to work out fine for you. Because you have captured a mental picture of your future, fulfilling such, will give a sense of purpose to your life. Have you seen why you need to have the vision? Just think of what you will be facing when you don’t have vision. Until when we meet again, keep seeing like the eagle! -EMMANUEL EGOBIAMBU #BSS
