Friday Four: Four Reasons Why Thinking About the Next Generation Is So Important
Friday, April 4, 2008
1. Building your career on the next generation affects the way you do business today. Having a vision in life that takes into account the welfare of the next generation affords the social entrepreneur a greater awareness of how important it is to be ethical in one's current business dealings. If your vision in life is geared on making things better for the next generation, you can bet your career building goals will be centered on values that you intend to pass on to the men and women who will help bring your vision of life and career objectives to glorious fruition.
2. Leaving a legacy becomes so much personal. Oftentimes, a vision in life becomes clearer when you focus on the end result. In the course of bringing your vision to life, if you can see the future generations as they are now, you can find so much more motivation in making your vision a reality. A Christian personal vision plan, for instance, takes into account winning souls for Jesus Christ; if your values are in sync with your vision in life, the passion and self-motivation becomes so much more personal, and thus, your vision becomes easier to achieve.
3. It gives you a greater sense of purpose. Career building is so much more relevant when the visionary working towards the vision in life does it for the sake of purpose. Anyone can work towards starting a company; not everyone can boast of starting a company designed specifically, for instance, to raise funds for a solution for cancer.
4. The next generation can help you today. Many say the enthusiasm and passion of youth is something unequalled by men of age and experience. Harness the potential of these future visionaries and bring your vision to life through their eyes and with their experience!
