"Our vision controls the way we think and, therefore, the way we act . . . The vision we have of our jobs determines what we do and the opportunities we see or don’t see." – Charles Koch, Koch Industries Chairman and CEO

Hello Bogdan, So true. No vision, you don't know what you want. Excellent topic. Keep doing what you are doing, keep getting the same results. Thanks for the invite.

Absolutely!! The brain has what may be called "selective hearing" capabilities. Like radar it scans the environment and locks into words, phrases ang thoughts that reinforce our vision. Have you ever noticed that you may have gone all your life without noticing, say, a specific car model, yet, when you start thinking about buying it, it seems to pop up everywhere you look? The same is true with things you envision. If you envision success, opportunites to become successful appear to "pop up" out of nowhere. In the same way, your negative feelings make you more aware of the negative feelings of people around you. Several people have stipulated that you can actually "attract" or "magnetize" whatever results you desire in your life, simply by envisioning the outcome. Well, I suppose Charles Koch knows a lot more about that one than I do! Amalia

Hi Bogdan, this one kind of reminds me of the old addage: ...in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King!! I always seek to obtain the big picture and develop strategy from there, making use of what's available, either directly or indirectly, learning and applying what i need as i pursue the strategy.
