Aspiration vs Vision
Lately, I've been now more precise to follow or trying to avoid aspirants. Nothing bad about surrounding them, but at times they can kill your dreams and impact your intellect by their actions. There's a sound difference in both of them - A Visionary and an aspirant, but we at times prefer to ignore and consider both of them same, per our convenience.
After a few years of experience in dynamic industries like Adtech, Programmatic, Martech and surrounding number of people, I can simply classify both of these categories and thought of sharing with the community who might be interested. Visionary is someone who sees the step by step scale for everyone in a long run. The one who has plans for every phase, every stage and exit paths too, if at all it demands. Basically, one who can take a crucial decision, a decision in the favour of all. So, relying on a visionary is always best for the brighter tomorrow.
On other side, Aspirants do bear and have all the capabilities of Visionary except the quality of putting others aspirations before yours. As for them, all the aspirations they have, everything they think or do is vitally important and prestigious than anything else. This at times, kills the basic motive of common goals or defined vision but they don't even bother to have a second thought on it.

I've always admired some of the good leaders who are visionaries and (thankfully) yet to counter any aspirant who can spoil your spent time with him/her. Be wise, while choosing your career paths and commute. You spend maximum of your time, efforts and dreams with them. Also, be a good visionary as far as your aspirations are for mass!
Do share if you have any counter thought or any additions.
