An illustration of the Visionaire's journey



You want to travel from your house to another town for the first time in your car. The first thing to ask yourself is if you know the way to that town. If you don’t, then you look for a map or go with someone that has gone to that town before. Another thing you must consider is the present state of the car. If for example, the car is not in a good condition, there is a very high tendency that you get stranded on the journey if the car should break down.
The illustration above is symbolic & I want to explain one by one
1. The town you are traveling to for the first time explains the destination/future you are heading to which you have never been before. You arrive in your future once & that is it.
2.   Since you don’t know the road to the town, you use your map or go with someone that has been to that town before.

I remembered when I needed to obtain the statement of result from my formal school. As usual, I wrote a letter of request to the appropriate authority only to get to the Exams & Records Office to hear that I cannot have all the results I requested for because; some of my results are yet to be approved by the university senate. All I could get was my pre-med result after spending about five years in the university. This means I will have to start from the beginning in the new university I’m applying into. This is one of the many experiences I’ve had in life. I know that you also must have had some unfair experiences as well.
So many times we have had to face situations that tend to slow us down or even try to prevent us from achieving our dreams. Not only do we feel bad about them, we also hate them. Many times the people we love don’t love us back while it is those that we never taught of that eventually care for us. Of all the things I have learnt about life, I am yet to fathom why life is not always fair to us all. I guess that’s just the way life is.
