Your sight may be perfect, but how's your vision?
YOUR SIGHT MAY BE PERFECT BUT...HOW'S YOUR VISION?
Helen Keller said, "The greatest tragedy in life is people who have
sight but no vision." How's your vision?
A Hollywood producer scrawled a curt rejection note on a manuscript
that became "Gone With The Wind." He had no vision for what that book
could become.
Henry Ford's largest original investor sold all his stock in 1906.
What could have happened had he shared Ford's vision for his company?
Roebuck sold out to Sears for $25,000 in 1895. Today, Sears may sell
$25,000 worth of goods in sixteen seconds.
How's your vision? Do you see what needs to be seen?
Orville and Wilbur Wright felt excited. On December 17, 1903, they
had finally succeeded in keeping their homemade airplane in the air
for 59 seconds. Immediately, they rushed a telegram to their sister
in Dayton, Ohio, telling of this great accomplishment. The telegram
read, "First sustained flight today fifty-nine seconds. Hope to be
home by Christmas."
Upon receiving the news of the successful flight, their sister was so
excited that she rushed to the newspaper office and gave the telegram
to the editor. The next morning the newspaper headed the story:
"Popular Local Bicycle Merchants To Be Home For Holidays."
Can you see the real story? Are you looking for the hidden potential
lurking behind every situation? Do you recognize those obscure
opportunities cleverly disguised as glaring problems?
Your sight may be perfect, but how's your vision?
