2. Vision is Required
Vision means seeing a possibility that others don’t see in your area of assignment or endeavour. It can be a slightly different way of handling a problem or a way of doing something that is much faster, effective and efficient. Achieving success as the pioneer of this new way of doing things makes people see you as a leader in your field; so knowing your gift or purpose is not enough. You must be able to bring something new to the table. You must engage the forces of creativity and innovation in your life’s assignment or work. Napoleon Hill in his great book think and grow rich wrote about the synthetic and creative imagination. Synthetic imagination uses or combines old knowledge and resources to create new things. The creative imagination is used to invent thing that are completely new. Be so good in your field that that you can use both to bring up new ideas or innovations that will make you outstanding in your field. For instance Bill Gates at an early age of 13 had already known that computing was his line of assignment and started programming from that age. In the year 1976 he got a business partner; Paul Allen and they both founded Microsoft Corporation. As he grew older he worked as a programmer for several companies that were into computers including IBM that were into producing and distribution of mainframe computers that were large and required operators who were specialists in one programming language or the other. Whenever there was work to be computed only computer operators or programmers could use the computer in handling the work to be computed. So using computers at the time was a very specialized and technical work like rocket science. Bill gates along with his contemporaries at the time then got the idea that if a software capable of doing (or more correctly replacing) the work of a specialized computer operator or programmer could be developed, they could with it help everyone else whether computer literate or not to use the computer especially in performing basic functions such as word processing and typing, spread sheet creation, database management, photo editing etc. At some point according to history it was said that bill gates met with a programmer who had developed a software (86-DOS) -an operating system that met the specifications he had in mind, so he bought the software from the programmer. He Then upgraded and renamed it MS-DOS meaning ‘Microsoft-Disk Operating System and later released it then as the first version of windows operating system. Bill gates then resolved that his vision was to place computer systems having Microsoft operating system at every home, office, school, laboratory etc. This vision’s success placed him among the richest men of the world today.
