tantos canales que dicen que lo de JFK es una visión porque parecía imposible y además era para hacerlo en más de diez años. Este señor derrumbó todas esas creencias y de una firma muy clara. Que sea muy ambiciosa o que tome mucho tiempo no deja de ser una misión, es solo una muy grande. Me convenció.

@mezalos Gran punto: no pensaron que se pudiera hacer cuando empezaron. Y estoy de acuerdo en que si se puede lograr, es una misión. Si es una descripción general es una visión.

@@mezalos Great insight. That's a big reason that I'm on KZbin - you can create longer form content that you can dive deeper into. Sadly, that's where a lot of people are at though, they want a quick fix without seeing the nuances. 🙏

That's right Philippe. They are timeless principles and having the four layers allows you to focus on the full spectrum of life from the sky high to the everyday moment.

Very confusing. I do not believe that a vision and mission are the same. A vision it what you see or envision happening and a mission is for how you accomplish the mission. Vision is not an action word. Mission is an action word and requires action.
@GeoffMcDonaldАй бұрын
Yes, it isn't clear. You can see why people use the words mission and vision as if they mean the same thing. But I agree. They are different. And I like what you've said mission requires action.

@@GeoffMcDonald I hear you ... and have a different experience. I found that the deadline crystallised my thinking and work from the previous 5 years. I didn't procrastinate because I didn't have the time. I had hyper focus. In thinking back, it's almost as if I got out of the way of the process, stopped letting Imposter Syndrome get in the way, and accessed what I knew worked.
