Vision Is What The PH President Always Needs! An Agriculturist, I Will Ask The Presidential Candidates, “What’s Your Vision For Agriculture?”

PH presidential candidates, all 5 frontrunners of them: Ping Lacson, Bongbong Marcos, Isko Moreno, Manny Pacquiao, Leni Robredo – who has the Vision and the Leadership to turn that Vision into Ideas and Ideas into Action?

Avid followers and/or fanatics of presidential candidates continue to praise their wo/man, but nobody ever talks about any Beautiful National Vision and how we Filipinos can achieve it.

And why should a President have Vision? The business of the PH President is to make the archipelago prosperous for everyone – if you ask me, especially in agriculture, as it is the #1 industry in the country, which employs 12 million people.

Prosperity. “Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion” – Jack Welch. He should know. Mr Welch was Chair & CEO of General Electric from 1981 to 2001 (Wikipedia). He retired with a severance pay of $417 Million, “the largest such payment in business history up to that point.” More importantly, a President can learn from him about leadership: “At GE, Welch became known for his teaching and growing leaders.”

Inspiration. “Great leaders have vision, share vision, and inspire others to create their own” – Roy T Bennett. Mr Bennett is “a thought leader. He loves sharing positive thoughts and creative insight that has helped countless people to live a successful and fulfilling life” (Amazon.com). Why not a President who is a thought leader, who loves sharing positive thoughts and creative insights?!

A proper President has a national Vision for all citizens, rich and poor. As an Agriculturist, my Vision is for All Farming Families to be Healthsome as well as Wealthsome!

At this point in time in Philippine history, we need a visionary as leader. Do we have a thinker, no matter an egoist, among our presidential candidates?

“We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done” – Alan Turing, Father of Theoretical Computer Science (Wikiipedia). So, Mr/Ms Candidate, what plenty is there that needs to be done?

“He who looks through an open window sees fewer things than he who looks through a closed window” – Charles Baudelaire, essayist and art critic. Is your candidate able to look through a closed window?

I love this one from Charles Dickens, who writes in A Tale Of Two Cities: “That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.” An excellent leader guides so many good minds.

“It doesn't matter how fast you can go, it doesn't matter how much passion you have, and it doesn't matter how much energy you put into something. If you don't have a vision and clarity on the destination you want to reach, you'll simply never get there” – Dean Graziosi, highly successful author, entrepreneur & investor.

Now I see: Voting for a PH presidential candidate is Investing in the Future of the Philippines, my country!@517
