Mission Statement

When people ask me what my life is about, I tell them that I have really no idea. I do not try to make my life about me because really, I do not think that I deserve that much attention. My life is about what I can do to make others happy. I elect to help people because not only does it help them, it also helps me. Also what I can do to make it a better place for everyone to live in. When people ask me what I want to do with my life I usually give them an answer like,”I want to help people”. “ Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours”(Les Brown). I like to remember this quote not only because I think that helping people is pretty much the …show more content…

I think that is really rude of people to do as people should not judge people by what they see or what they believe that person to be but by what they do or act. If people took an insignificant amount of time out of their busy day they would realize that I actually do have a plan, that I do understand what my life is about and that I am a really nice guy.” Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember that you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others” (Audrey Hepburn). Sometimes I feel like I help others too much, that I do not do enough for me. I take a step back and look at what I have done.

To be completely honest, I do not know much about my life. I know the important things like what I want to do. However after that I am clueless. I try not to focus on myself pretty much all the time. I do not know why. I believe that I am just here to do what I can to improve the lives of people around me. “Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable” ( Albert Camus). I do not really fit into social norms very well. You can see this right here in this essay. I have taken a straight left turn and have gone on a tangent about myself. The prompt for this essay was supposed to be about explaining the ideas behind the Mission Statement. However I found it more and more difficult to try to explain something that I really do not know much

What I learned about mission is simply focusing on the firm’s purpose and its present business. To create a clear and successful mission, it should be getting answers on these types of questions: Who we are, what we do, and why we are here (Thompson, 2014). The Best Buy website stated their mission, "Our formula is simple: we are a growth company focused on better solving the unmet needs of our customers and we rely on our employees to solve those puzzles.
