Read here in 18 points why and how your mission and vision can become your most profitable investment. LESS CONFUSION – MORE CLARITY AND ORIENTATION PROBLEM Many of your colleagues and employees understand your strategy and business model in different way than you do? Almost everyone uses different terms, which continues to lead to misunderstandings? If you ask ten team members about the right strategy for the future, do you feel you get ten different answers? SOLUTION Start by developing not one, but at least three to eight strategy candidates. This is the only way to ensure that you have really considered the entire space opportunity. Determine the criteria by which you evaluate the candidates, such as future fitness, risk level, strength fit, unique selling proposition potential, earnings potential and desire to implement. Let your candidates compete in pairs against each other in each discipline - the criteria - just like in a tournament. Identify the winner as the core of your strategic direction and develop the candidate into a clear mission, positioning and vision. FEWER CONFLICTS – MORE UNITY AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEM You, your executives and your employees do not agree on your strategic direction, vision, strategy and the right priorities? Some of your discussions even turn into arguments and persistent conflicts? Your meetings are sometimes characterized by low mutual trust and respect and even rude treatment? SOLUTION Resolve with your management team intensively all the big questions that must finally be answered and decided: Your mission (M): What really is your business and what is not. Your positioning (P): What really is unique about your company. Your vision (V): To where you want to develop your business and where not to. Your vision of the future will only become effective when it is understood and strongly supported by a good part of your employees. LESS SCATTERING – MORE FOCUS AND STRENGTH PROBLEM Do you have the feeling that you are following several strategic directions at the same time? You can't really concentrate your personal efforts on essential tasks? Do you always work on different fronts with only divided power? Your best people constantly have to jump back and forth between different topics? You cannot invest sufficiently in all your business areas to remain competitive? SOLUTION Together with your core team, determine the big, convincing picture of your future consisting of mission, positioning and vision, which all your activities, projects and processes should run towards. Without such a picture of your future, you always have too many business areas, projects and processes. Focus and enduring concentration of forces (mind, time, money) are undisputed success factors. Focus requires saying 'No' and literally "cutting away". Make as many decisions against options as deemed necessary in this regard. Focus is the entirety of the few decisions for a particular strategic direction and the many decisions against other possible strategic directions.. LESS EFFORT AND STRESS – GREATER EFFECTIVENESS OF LEADERSHIP PROBLEM You know everything about leadership with goals, but it doesn't work in the your field? You have a master plan with a roadmap of all projects and initiatives, but it keeps falling apart? You have become the most dilligent foreman and hopelessly overburdened instructor? SOLUTION Without a vision of your future, you do not lead, you merely manage. Leadership is not possible without a vision. The only way to lead your team from today to tomorrow more effectively than before is by having a picture of your future and being able to communicate it effectively both emotionally and rationally. Break the vicious circle of "no time for a vision of our future" and massive work overload and stress. Force yourself to develop the big picture of mission, positioning and vision. Your mission and vision can be your most profitable investment.
I God created humanity, placed them on the earth and led them to the present day. He served as a sin offering and through this He saved man. In the end He still must conquer, restore man to his original state. Since the beginning this is the work that He has engaged in. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth as well as man's state. He will restore His authority among all He created. II Corrupted by Satan, man has lost his heart, his God-fearing heart, and lost the function that God's creature should have had from the start. He's become God's enemy, living under Satan's orders and domain. God lost man's obedience and fear, and His work can't be done among them. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth as well as man's state. He will restore His authority among all He created. III Man was created by God and ought to worship God. But man turned his back on God and worshiped Satan. Man was created by God and ought to worship God. But man turned his back on God and worshiped Satan. IV Satan became the idol in man's heart, while to man God lost His standing, which is to say man lost the meaning of why he was created. To restore this meaning, man must return to his original condition. God must rid man of his corrupt disposition. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth as well as man's state. He will restore His authority among all He created. V To reclaim man from Satan, God must save man, save man from sin. Only then can He gradually restore man's original function, and in the end restore His kingdom. Sons of disobedience will be destroyed, to allow man to better worship God and live better here on Earth. from “God and Man Will Enter Into Rest Together” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

In this lesson, let us take a look at how to say that something is easy or difficult to do. To say this, you need to use the noun form of verbs, ending with -기. To be easy to + V = -기 쉽다To be difficult to + V = -기 어렵다"Verb stem + -기" is a noun form, therefore in principle, there has to be a marker after it, but in the forms above, the marker is dropped. Which markers were dropped? It depends on the context, but -기 쉽다/어렵다 can be either originally -기에 쉽다/어렵다 or originally -기가 쉽다/어렵다. -기에 쉽다/어렵다When you use the marker -에, it means that something is easy/difficult FOR + V-ing. -기가 쉽다/어렵다When you use the marker -가, it means that "DOING something" is easy/difficult.Let's look at some examples.Example #1제 이름은 발음하기(가) 어려워요.[je i-reu-meun ba-reum-ha-gi-ga eo-ryeo-wo-yo.]= My name is difficult to pronounce.= As for my name, pronouncing it is difficult.Example #2이건 만들기(가) 어려워요.[i-geon man-deul-gi-ga eo-ryeo-wo-yo.]= This is difficult to make.= As for this, making it is difficult.Example #3이건 어린이가 사용하기(에) 어려워요.[i-geon eo-ri-ni-ga sa-yong-ha-gi-e eo-ryeo-wo-yo.]= This is difficult for a child to use.= Using this is difficult for a child. ** In this example, since the subject of the verb 사용하다 is 어린이 and 어린이 is followed by -가, the subject marker, it sounds rather repetitive to use -가 again, so in this kind of sentence, people tend to use -에 instead of -가 before 쉬워요/어려워요.Example #4사용하기가 쉬워요.[sa-yong-ha-gi-ga swi-wo-yo.]= It's easy to use.사용하기에 쉬워요.[sa-yong-ha-gi-e swi-wo-yo.]= Using it is easy. ** In this case, -가 쉬워요 and -에 쉬워요 both work because the sentences are short. In all of the above sentences, you can drop -가 or -에 from -기가 or -기에. 1. 제 이름은 발음하기가 어려워요. --> 제 이름은 발음하기 어려워요.2. 이건 만들기가 어려워요. --> 이건 만들기 어려워요.3. 이건 어린이가 사용하기에 어려워요. --> 이건 어린이가 사용하기 어려워요.4. 사용하기가 쉬워요. --> 사용하기 쉬워요.5. 사용하기에 쉬워요. --> 사용하기 쉬워요.Other words can also be used with "Verb stem + -기(가/에)".Examples-기(가) 편리하다 / -기(에) 편리하다= to be convenient to + V / to be convenient for + V-ing-기(가) 좋다 / -기(에) 좋다= to be good to + V / to be good for + V-ing-기(가) 불편하다 / -기(에) 불편하다= to be inconvenient to + V / to be inconvenient for + V-ing
