Hello there, I'd like to share with you on the subject of Vision. May U be blessed as u read.
It is important to note that the major reason behind the underdevelopment in the third world nations is the Leaders’ lack of Vision, according to the Holy book that says "My people perish for lack of vision" (Prov. 29 : 18).
What is Vision? I believe Vision is a picture of the future that captures the solution to a present problem.
For example,
Nigeria’s vision 2020 was a response to the Nation’s Infrastructural and economic decay since independence.
Also, in 1993, it was made known that the oil in Dubai would become exhausted in less than 25 years, hence a solution is desired--To make Dubai the most visited city in the world for tourism. In 1994, a vision was birthed by the prince of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid to build the tallest building in the world on an artificial Island. It was ready before the arrival of the millennium.

Difference between a Vision and a Dream

Dreams usually fulfill personal desires while visions transcend personal passion and attachments.

Dreams are vague and have no specific time-frame for execution while Visions have a specific time frame for its actualization. (Hab. 2: 3).
A dream is of a world that does not exist and may seem fanciful or may not be possible to manifest for one reason or the other while a vision is totally possible and all that stands in the way is the desire to create it.

Vision Statement and Mission Statement

A vision statement should answer the basic question, “What do we want to become?”
A Mission Statement answers the pivotal question “what is our business”? It is a statement of purpose! “..this one thing I do…”
For example, The reason for existence of the hotel business is to offer services like the provision of basic accommodation, conference facilities, restaurant and even social function facilities.
To become the best fashion designer in town within 5 years is a vision statement. Your business should be strictly fashion designing for effectiveness.
