 Functions of a “VISION”
 It gives us direction.
 It helps us in day to day decision
making.
 It gives us motivation.
 It helps us fight adversity.
 If we don’t have a clear vision, we shall
be the instruments of someone else’s
vision and the risk is that we might
realize later on that we disagree.
 It helps us select our choice roles.
