The Eagle's Perspective
Eagle’s Perspective The eagle is renowned for its excellent eye sight estimated to be four to eight times stronger than that of the average human. An eagle can easily spot its prey from an altitude of 3.2km. The eye of an eagle provides it with a vision unparalleled by that of other birds of the air; which makes it a formidable predator in the animal kingdom. The great inventor, Thomas Edison said: “From his neck down, a man is worth a couple of dollars a day; from his neck up, he is worth anything his brain can invent.” Put slightly differently, your vision makes you travel ahead of time psychologically. Your mental images are perpetuated with glimpses of the future of your vision. Like the eagle that can both soar and spot its prey from over 3.2km away, your vision positions you mentally ahead of others. You can see the goal ahead with a curve view without disturbing too many who stand in the light. Having an eagle’s perspective stimulates your mentality to think o...
The Seed within the Seed
The Seed within the Seed “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after it kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after it kind.” Engrained in every good seed is the potential to become a fruit. And this potential to finally become is fuelled by persistency. That is, as long as a good seed persist on the ground on which it was planted, absorbing moisture, heat, and other agronomic elements it will eventually sprout. In other words, persistency is highly germane to the fruition of a vision. It is the seed within the vision; and its importance is inexhaustible. Persistency is the kernel for growth; the fifth essence, so to speak, to every vision. Also, it tells how tough, rigid and resolved the visionary is at building his or her vision from the crust of mediocrity. Knute Rockne captures it this way when he remarked, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” You should see my amazement when I discovered that Napoleon Hill devoted an e...
The Full Corn in the Ear
The Full Corn in the Ear Years ago, so the story goes, a Jewish philosopher was trudging along the rock-strewn terrain of the country side; laden with severe accusations about his vision, and about to be killed. Surrounded by a mammoth crowd of cheerers and wailers, he exercised not many seconds to say a few words to both groups of onlookers. Fixing his eyes on them, he said: “Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.” The philosopher saw afar-off, the light at the end of the tunnel, the reward of the course he borne while the environment was in frenzy and tumult. He did not allow his detractors to distract him from his resolve to actualize his vision. When your vision begins to take shape and form it will attract unsolicited cheerers and wailers, or rather sympathizers. However, of these two groups of people, the sympathizers are the most lethal to the success of your vision. Sympathy is contagious. And often times destructive to the pursuit of a...
