Having a Great Vision

I was recently chatting with a friend about stock trading, where the markets are going, how to survive.  He said "I think working is actually more fun."  I answered "especially when you have a Great Vision." And he replied "Great Vision comes from having an understanding of the technology."

This is absolutely true.  Until you work through technology to the point of clarity of "what is possible?", every little vision will remain foggy.  Your attitude will be horrible: "How the hell can I do that?" and then there's doubt that it can even be done.  Ghosts live their whole lives this way, going from one doubt to the next.  Shriveling away over what couldn't be done.  What a pitiful way to live!  Don't keep company with them.  Don't listen to them.  Don't take on their attitudes.

It takes a lot of digging and finding out what it's going to take.  But once that's clear, then it's just a matter of time, and doing what needs to be done, and the momentum is there that nothing can get in the way of making it happen.  It becomes very focused, and life consuming.

In fact, once that takes place, life becomes completely and wonderfully different: from living in doubt, to living with resolve.
