The Endless Possibilities

Vision is the foundation for success, without a vision, people can never fulfill their dreams and reach their desired destination. This is the lesson that I've learned from viewing "The Power of Vision." This documentary film has inspired me to start acting on my dreams rather than just imagining them in my head. It made me realize that no matter how many dreams I have for the future, they will never come true if I do not act upon them. Therefore, to start off, I've listed some of the many dreams that I have and how I plan on realizing them.

1. Start my own business, perhaps open a restaurant.
2. Purchase a house for my family.
3. Expand my restaurant into a hotel restaurant.
4. Donate money to build schools for the children living in the poor regions of China.
5. Adopt a child.

To make my first dream come true, I've started saving 2/3 of my paychecks and building up my credit for future loans by avoiding late credit card payments. However, knowing that no matter how much I am saving right now, it will never be enough for even the down payment of the business, I am also on the search for possible candidates as business partners. So far, I have found two individuals with whom I share this vision.


The rest of my dreams depend heavily on the outcome of my first. In order to buy a house for my family and expand the restaurant into a hotel restaurant, I must work extra hard in making the restaurant into a profitable one. I must save up all the profits from the restaurant and avoid big personal expenses such as taking long vacations. Also in order to help build sufficient amount of schools in the poor regions of China, I must donate 1/2 of the profit derived from my business. Lastly, in order to adopt a child, I must build up the financial supports that she needs and provide a loving home for her.
