Vision

Helps us to identify our goals, bring visibility in our being able to convert it into a practical reality. It makes us decide on the concrete actions that need to be taken to reach where we want. It helps us make sure that we understand our goal and what we need to do to reach it. It makes us work in a result-oriented way rather than in a loose or ad-hoc way where we just respond to issues and crises with no clear plan. Planning helps us to see in advance those things that can help us achieve our goal and those things that can prevent us from achieving our goal and effectively plan out what needs to be done about them. It helps us to be accountable for what we do, decide how best to use our resources (people, time, money, information, equipment) so that they make the most significant contribution towards achieving our goal.

‘Flowers of Hell’: Nguyen Chi Thien: The poems were under his shirt, 400 of them. The date was July 16th 1979, just two days he noted them after the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille. Freedom day he got arrested while attempting go inside the embassy in Hanoi. The mind’s treasury was a safer place for those poems. He kept them almost half his life time the only place he had. In prison he was allowed no pen, paper or books. He therefore memorized in the quite each one of the 400 poems, carefully revised it for several days, and mentally files it away. If it did not work he mentally deleted it. He sent his poems out of communist Vietnam. They were published as ‘flowers of Hell’, translated into half a dozen languages, and won the international poetry Award in 1985. He heard about the award vaguely, in his various jails. In Hao Lo, the ‘Hanoi Hilton’, one of his captors furiously waved a book in his face. To his delight, he saw it was his own.

‘Lightning Bolt’: Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, C.D. (Born 21 August 1986), is a Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and four-time Olympic gold medalist. He is the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 meters, the 200 meters and (along with his teammates) the 4×100 meters relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, and is one of only seven athletes to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event. Bolt won a 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist at the time. His 2008 season began with his first world record performance—a 100 m world record of 9.72 s—and culminated in world and Olympic records in both the 100 m and 200 m events at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. He ran 9.69 s for the 100 m and 19.30 s in the 200 m, and also set a 4×100 m relay record of 37.10 s with the Jamaican team and made him the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics. The following year he further lowered his own 100 m and 200 m world records to 9.58 s and 19.19 s respectively at the 2009 World Championships. In London, the 25-year-old Bolt left no doubt that he is history’s greater sprinter. In the semis he ran a 9.87 while doing the backstroke across the finish line. In the final, against the best field in Olympic history, he ran a breathtaking, no-doubt-about-it 100 meters, an Olympic-record time of 9.63 seconds. His achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname ‘Lightning Bolt’, and awards including the IAAF World Athlete of the Year, Track and Field Athlete of the Year, and Laureus Sportsman of the Year. Sportspro has rated Usain Bolt as the 4th most marketable athlete in the world.
