Theunicornhunter 2 Posted March 13, 2004 If you've ever read The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People you are familiar with the concept of a personal mission statement. It's a very interesting book and a chance to evaluate your life course so to speak. I think about it also in terms of the many discussions we have here. Particularly when we discuss whether something is "right" or "wrong' etc I believe it ultimately depends on what your goals are - what you see as the purpose to life. Not everyone has the same individual goal, on a larger scale not everyone wants the same for society. In extreme cases (Al Qaeda example) people try to force their goals on everyone. More democratic societies try to accomodate the goals of all individuals. Although I have cynically come to look at elections as merely a choice of which group will impose it's views on the others for the duration of the next term. However, back on topic. Do you have a personal mission statement or any thoughts you would like to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 8 Posted March 14, 2004 Accept other people for who and what they are recognizing that they have arrived at that point by living a set of lifetime experiences that I will never experience and therefore have no ability to understand, nor do I have the right to pass judgment.

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted March 14, 2004 My mission statement? I haven't really given it much thought. but I can come up with one on the fly. and note: this won't surprise anyone. EJP's Mission Statement: My mission, which I do choose to accept, is to be the best father, and husband, I can be, first and foremost. Secondly, I will stay true to do my duty for my country, in war and peace. and yes, I did order those correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeanway 0 Posted March 19, 2004 Try to understand others rather than try to make others understand me. ( St. Thomas of Assisi). To leave things better than I found them. Try not to hurt anyone either physically or mentally. To love the animals and protect them, for they have no voice. Always to protect those who can't protect themselves. Never add to another persons grief. Lend a hand to someone who is in need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
