The life has to run in vision so that live can follow the line and principle from beginning and become strengths by the principle. Indeed, leadership should be based on vision, no leadership without vision. Interpreted from Bible (John 6: 35, 8:12, 14:6; Marc 14:61-62)
2. Mission
If vision is an idea, mission is a way to realize the vision. Nobody can realize his/her vision without mission. He knows what must He does. If we want to follow His principle should be better, we should have mission to realize our vision. It means; no success without working. That’s impossible if someone wants to succeed without work and study hard. Interpreted from Bible (John 8: 14, 17:3-4; Luc 4:43)
