GREAT VISION

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) was the 36th President of the United States. He was born in 1908 and passed away in 1973. He wanted to make America a Great Society. To achieve this, he implemented various measures, one of which was a change in the immigration law.

Johnson placed the greatest importance on knowledge and education. He said that the most fundamental aspect of our hopes for America’s future is knowledge:

“Learning is basic to our hopes for America.”

America welcomes foreign minds. However, before Johnson, there was an obstacle in this regard. There were lenient laws for the entry of white experts into America, but there were stringent rules for the entry of Black experts. As a result, America couldn’t fully utilize Black experts in its developmental process.

After coming to power, Lyndon Johnson changed the U.S. Immigration law in 1965. He removed all legal restrictions on the entry of Black individuals. He said, “We need their skills and not their skins.”

This is an example that illustrates what a person must do to achieve great progress in this world. That is, one must look at people’s abilities and disregard all other aspects. Those who are distracted by other aspects can never gather talented individuals around them.

For great success, great vision is required. The principle of success in this world can be summed up in one word: The greater the vision, the greater the success.
