Many of you have heard this and know this statement: People without vision perish. This is from the Bible, from the book of Proverbs, chapter 29, verse 18. Nations, corporates, organisations, families and individuals point to this statement as a reason to craft a vision statement. Vision, hope, expectation, etc., are words that are similar to imagination. The word vision is often used for an organisation, while words like imagination, hope, and expectation are more often used for individuals.
Much of the Bible was originally written in Hebrew, while other portions were written in Aramaic and Greek. The translators choose multiple words so that the nuances are well expressed in English from the original language. Yet, it’s good to know that many words mean much in common.
