Real-world 'Mission Statements:' What's yours?
Merlin Also | Mar 27 2006
Okay, I officially admit it. I think personal Mission Statements are goofy. There, I said it. Danny O'Brien says geeks seek out situations that allow them to act like robots; my corollary is that business guys tend to embrace things that let them behave like corporations. Both are silly. One's funny and endearing. The other is kind of weird and creepy. (/$0.02) So. My challenge to you: give me your _real world_ Mission Statement. NOT based on pie-in-the-sky, best-of-breed, net-net, top-of-mind, uplevel thinking, etc. etc. For real -- if past is truly prologue and your actual behavior were turned into a retrospective statement of purpose, what would yours be? And no bullshitting. Here's mine: Quote:
I will waste unbelievable amounts of time on trivial obsessions, drink generous portions of low-priced spirits, and spend the better part of every day listening to indie rock and typing about "Productivity." I will also watch "Family Guy" repeatedly on my TiVo. I will like Stewie best. Okay, now you. 17 Comments

I will spend too much time on the internet looking for things I don't need and ignoring the things that I do. I will continue my downward spiral of self-destruction through procrastination and live a self-induced stressful life as I put myself in some sort of hell that lets me see what I am doing wrong but does not allow me to fix it. That's pretty depressing. :) » POSTED IN:
