When you meet someone who has a compelling vision—and their vision isn’t the same as yours—how do you respond?
Comparing your vision to theirs—and how compelling your vision seems, compared to their vision—can lead to disaster.
How compelling a vision seems has largely to do with how well it is presented. If they have been presenting longer, or have more natural charisma, theirs will seem more compelling. Yours will seem less.
Diarrhea kills more than AIDS, malaria and measles combined, and diarrhea is curable—but which seems more compelling, curing AIDS or curing diarrhea?
Never equate the rightness, value or importance of a vision with how compelling or valuable it seems by the way it is presented.
