Conquered my fear, what's next?

A vision is necessary when you need to know what you have to do and how to approach that goal you want to achieve. From the video, The Power of Vision, the narrator discussed what a vision is and how it happens. He used various examples to demonstrate how a person achieves his/her vision. Like the Parthenon, did a person sit back and watch his dream happen or did he go ahead and pursue this vision?


Right now, I envision myself accomplishing a full list of goals and spontaneous risks that I will dare to do. Some visions that I can derive from that list are:

1. work as an accomplished graphics designer, hopefully doing television commercials or billboards.
2. go on the Amazing Race.
3. buy a house for both my parents and my future family.
4. make enough money to be able to sponsor a non-profit organization, such as ASPCA or NAPAWF (I suggest you to google them), for the rest of my life. If I cannot provide this kind of support, I will volunteer my time and efforts instead.
5. work in a foreign country for a brief period of time.


In order to make these visions happen, of course I have to build up my résumé with internships and such. Then I would need to graduate, so that I can successfully work on my career. Once I become what I hope to become, I will save up my money so that I can buy those houses that I mentioned above. Another portion of my money will go towards the donations to the non-profit organizations. These organizations need us most to help create a better community. Because so many people are so self-centered in their lives, I feel the need to be the one to take action and help these organizations. Even if I cannot financially support them, I can help them by spreading awareness. Going on the Amazing Race really doesn't relate to the rest of the list, but it is something spontaneous that I would like to do. I love traveling, and I want to go everywhere that I can.


My visions are simple, but are they possible? They can be possible if I make it happen. I already have a focused path, and all I have to do is follow it and take action to accomplish those goals.





A personal goal I recently achieved:I have stage fright. I'm absolutely terrified of speaking in public.
This semester, I practiced many hours for the Baruch Asian Student Union (BASU) Variety Show, and all my hard work paid off last Friday. My sorority performed two different scenes - one is a dance scene and the second is a skit to celebrate the Chinese culture. I danced and narrated, conquering my fear.
I had this vision that I could use this show (it occurs every year) to work on my stage fright. Not only did I see myself overcoming it, I also had a different sort of vision. I imagined so many different ways we can produce these two scenes, and in the end, it worked out perfectly.
(I'm the loser on the far right, by the way.)





Visions are necessary when creating goals, and they can only be imagined if you want to do it. For me, one down, five more to go. So if you have a vision, go do it!
