Functions of a vision
1. It gives us direction.
2. A vision greatly reduces the risk of realizing
the worst case scenarios in life.
3. It gives us motivation.
4. It helps us fight adversity.
5. If we don’t have a clear vision, we risk
becoming the instruments of an undesired
vision.
6. It helps us select some of our roles.
Three Issues with Vision
1. All is Well
2. We will cross the Bridge when the bridge
would come
3. Its All Over
Characteristics of a vision
1. Attainability: What is the possibility of
achieving your vision within available
resources?
2. Lucidity: An articulation of the vision which
explains the main idea in clear and
unambiguous terms.
3. Concreteness: The number of quantifiable
elements and degree of quantification in
those elements.
4. Clarity: Clarity is defined as a vision having
high lucidity and appropriate concreteness.
Characteristics of a vision
5. Complexity: How complex or simple is the
main concept behind the vision.
6. Scale: The scale of your vision in terms of
geography, time and depth.
7. Nobility: The degree to which your vision
touches lives other than yourself for a
greater good.
8. Loftiness: The minimum cost required for
the success of the vision.
9. Correctness: The correctness of your vision
is directly proportional to the soundness of
your ideology
Ultimate Vision (UV)

A vision which, if not accomplished, remains

relevant with any passage of time is called an
ultimate vision. An ultimate vision has high lucidity
but very low concreteness.
