Mission and Vision

A mission statement is a statement of purpose/ core values. Every company or organization has a mission statement. It is meant to explain its values of the company, how an organization will represent itself, and will assist in decision making of the organization.

All airlines, restaurants, stores, and companies have mission statements. Not only do organizations have mission statements but there are also personal mission statements. A personal Mission statement is “a statement of one’s timeless values.” For example, my personal mission statement would be “I hope to inspire and learn endlessly from all of my loved ones.”



In this video clip, Jerry McGuire is writing a mission statement about his business. I fell this clip really describes what a mission statement really is and how much work and effort it takes to create a great statement.

Having a vision can be very broad. Although having a vision can be broad a vision can always change into something better or worse it depends on which direction one goes. I feel that everyone has a vision. One could have a vision for his/her company, for his/her life, family, and community. No one knows exactly what is going to happen, it is all about the turn that one takes to make his/her life what they want.

I envision a world in which there is no danger in the streets, where everyone is happy to be where they are, where there is no struggle to survive, and where my friends and family are secure in the present and the future.
