2 Black Belt Philosophy VISION IN LEADERSHIP A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done. - Ralph Lauren You want to set a goal that is big enough that in the process of achieving it you become someone worth becoming. - John Rohn Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. - Warren Bennis Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then we shall find the way. - Abraham Lincoln Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one s levels of aspiration and expectation. - Jack Nicklaus Martial Arts Perspective One of the examples instructors are taught when they learn how to instruct is that teaching and developing a student is not unlike carving a statue. One starts with unshaped raw material and then slowly chips away. At first, the shape created is rather rough and lacking in detail. Then, as the carving continues, it becomes more refined and clear. Gradually, the work of both the instructor and the sculptor creates an impressive work. In fact, the great artist Michelangelo said that he first would get a clear vision of the statue he wanted to create, then he took away, through carving, what was not the statue until the statue had, in his words, revealed itself. The difference, of course, between the statue and the student is that the student, unlike a block of marble, is an active particpant in the process. As an advanced student, you should use visualization and meditation, along with active practice to assist in the process of carving your techniques. Begin by getting a picture of the angle, the height, and the shape of the technique as you have seen it performed. Lock in on it and create a clear mental picture. Then, with each practice try to move closer to that vision. You are sure to find the process stimulating and challenging. Life Skill Perspective Even the most impressive structure or the most technical machine, began first as an idea. Slowly that idea was turned into a vision and then a series of procedures to make it a reality. Clearly, all great accomplishments begin as a thought before they take physical shape. It also seems to be true that the greater clarity one has when creating a vision, the closer they are to making that vision a reality. Ask yourself in your personal and professional life where you would benefit by getting a clearer vision of what you want to achieve. Whether it is an ideal family vacation, a more organized workplace, or better time management, gathering your thoughts and getting a clear mental picture will bring you closer to making results happen. 48
