En-vision
Recently I have been reading some of the quotes by leaders and some of the ambitious projects that they plan, which made took me by awe and I tried to think on what distinguishes a achiever against a true visionary.
At different stages in life and according to upbringing each one of us definitely count on our own achievements and feel happy, but being a visionary is something very different. Visionaries go a mile further and dream of things that can impact societies and change the world. And to envision such a complex thought truly demands deep understanding and experience.
Today I had a chance to read something kalam said recently when he addressed students in
Quote:
“In a globalized world, our problems are shared, our efforts are shared, and the prosperity and the happiness will hence be shared across the nations and societies as well”
- Unquote.
How true. But this thought doesn’t come to everyone. Everyone is competing these days
$as a student
$as a employee
$ as a country
$ as a society , as a community, as a religion, as a leader etc.. etc..
But have we really thought about how we can co-live and co-create a better world to live in? , We have only thought about a better house, have we thought about a better surrounding? A best house in a worst surrounding will not even catch attention of on-lookers !!
On to the next thing that impacted me to write about visionaries.
Bill gates, always referred to as the worlds richest man or the second (does it matter to him ?) recently is following a crop produce by Indian farmers that has ability to withstand floods! Gates is closely following farming in
Incidentally Gates is also setting up a 800 million dollar reserve/fund to fight global hunger and poverty. He is camping at places like
While there are so many remedial measures he could have thought about, he has been following agricultural innovations so that these famine hit countries could come out of this forever and not always depend upon outside world for funding.
These kind of visionary ideas are the need of the hour as the world is so divided. As I draw close on this write-up I wish a wider consortium is formed and all such visionaries spread across the world can sit together and discuss what can spread the happiness, that is spiking in certain parts of the world alone.
Yes the spike needs to flatten and the our grand children need to live in a much better and tranquil world.
