Hi AVS,
About thirty years ago, when Mr. Narayana Murthy came out of IIM Ahmedabad completing his MBA, he had a vision of creating Infosys, when computers even in the USA were not so very popular. Mr. Murthy was able to see far ahead of his times - that is what the management experts call "vision" - and he gave birth to Infosys, which has become a world-class organization today. Kiran Mazumdar, the CEO of Biocon India, dreamt of biochemistry thirty years ago, soon after coming out of college in Bangalore, and today has created a world-class organization. Likewise, Azim Premji, who was in the vegetable oils business, also had a vision of creating Wipro and has made it a world-class organization. Verghese Kurian, spurning a hefty pay packet from TCS in 1947, settled down in Anand in the Kheda District of Gujarat and was able to create Amul, using a small product called "Milk," a cooperative venture that is now said to be earning Rs. 5000 crores of foreign exchange. Many laughed at his idea of using milk for earning foreign exchange.
All these management geniuses rewrote the theory of management and were able to create world-class organizations because they had a great vision and were able to look far, far ahead of their times. But many of us (I am also included) have dreams that remain as dreams because we never translate them into action. These management stalwarts were different and were able to translate their dreams into reality. These geniuses have shown what a vision can do.
Mahatma Gandhi had a great vision of making India a "Rama Rajya," where everyone was happy, free from any disease, in which theft, animosity, rivalry, robbery, etc., were unknown. All these were absent in Lord Rama's reign. But Gandhi's dream remained a dream because the politicians who came after him were and are selfish to the core. All this underscores that we should have a vision and we must strive to translate it into reality by constantly making efforts towards that.

Dear MJS
Happy Sunday morning.
My appreciation to you for an excellent analysis of the message in my thread.
Apart from the vision these stalwarts mentioned by you, have had themselves had one thing common. It is their FAITH. These great souls had faith in their FAITH.
Faith is very similar to electricity, which you can’t see, but you can see or enjoy the result in produces.
The FAITH of these stalwarts you have glorified as “Bharath Ratnas”, may be beyond their comprehensions, but the results of their individual FAITHS were seen by all of us.
I am thanking you for your active participation in the thread.
Have a nice Sunday.

Mr. Subramanyam,
You deserve kudos for your splendid examples to explain what distinguishes the act of mere seeing and envisioning in the AVS quote. Mr. AVS has rightly pointed to the key to translating one's dreams into reality, namely the faith in one's ability to do it. Thanks to both of you.
