When I saw the video I did not really feel very inspired by it, but I think it gives a very good insight about how to turn your ambitions and expectations into a real goal with a set plan to follow what he called “vision.”
I believe that I have some visions, and although I might not have a whole plan mapped out to accomplish every single one of them, I think they are realistic and little by little I feel a step closer to reach them.
My first vision is to travel around the world; not only visiting, but actually being able to acquire work experience in different countries. This would allow me to experience varied work environments, be able to learn different languages, and have an open mind to other cultures. I love diversity, and even though I am an accountant major and we are usually categorized as boring people, and I am somewhat shy, I cannot picture myself working in the same place for 20 years and being around the same people for the long of my career.
My second vision is to own an accounting firm. I think big; I want to create a different kind of company, less uptight, with a more dynamic and youthful atmosphere. My goal is to make it “the fifth” (you know “the final four”) or at least be able to set the right grounds for the next generations of accountancy firms.
My third vision is to have a restaurant in the city… I have always worked in the restaurant business, and I believe that when you have experience in a certain area, you should take full advantage and make the best of it. I want to be able to apply everything I have learned, and create something unique by applying what I believe all those restaurants I have worked for are missing, which is a blend of consistency and innovation.
My fourth vision is to go back to my country Colombia, and being able to help some of the many in need. I don’t believe in donations. Giving away money is not enough if not nothing. To really contribute and make a difference you must be really involved. My vision is to go to those little towns where the opposition groups and cocaine and marihuana plantations have destroyed and left their innocent, low-income, poor educated habitants with no hope of having a descent life ever again. I want to help rebuild their homes, make the land fertile again, and give them a way to earn a living and build a future for their families through agriculture. I want to promote education, and provide better technology to provide the children and insight of life outside these little towns that they have no idea of.
The actions to be taken to make my vision reality is to look for training after graduation abroad, expand my studies, and find others who share the same goals and pair up with them at the end...to heads think better than one!

Thank you for your comment, always glad to give a fresh idea. As I ahve been reading other people's blogs, the general idea is rpesent in all of them - become rich/famous, have your own business and travel. However, your blog was the first one taht talked about going back to your home country and trying to help the people living there. I think that is a very generous and unique vision, keep up the good work. =)
You have more than one idea for you future, like this you won't be disappointed if one of your wish does not become reality. I think this is very generous of you to want to help the community of your country of birth.
It’s good to see that you have realistic visions that can definitely be accomplished with hard work and dedication. Traveling around the world and visiting different countries would allow you to see how different cultures work and what values they have. As you said, it is very important to have an open mind because one’s biases will not allow them to fully appreciate another culture.
Owning an accounting firm would probably take a lot of time. A CPA would definitely help. I believe you would have to have many years of experience before even owning a small firm. A restaurant in the city is definitely an interest to pursue. If you have that much experience and like the job, then go for it! Owning the right place in the right location can prove to be very lucrative. I also believe in helping people and I think it is great idea to go back to your home country and help out the people in need. When you own that accounting firm and restaurant, then you can help as much as your heart wants to give. Good Luck with all your endeavors.!
