Rat: I'm thinking of starting a business. Goat: Oh, good. Well, one of your first steps should be drafting a mission statement. You know, outlining your vision and your ideals. Make *@#* loads of money. Goat: Not really a mission statement. Rat: Oh. Then how 'bout, "Impose my will"?

Rat has “mission statements” down pat. Goat has been too heavily indoctrinated by the Bureaucratic Self-Aggrandizers, who may require an all-new pablum Mission Statement every five years. Stick to your own mission, Rat!

Let’s be honest, Rat had it right the first time. Seriously, who wakes up and says I want to dedicate my entire life to making the best widgets in the world? No they wake up and say “I want to make #%$& loads of money and I don’t care what I have to do or who I screw to do it!”

No, the mission statement comes later, when a committee can argue over each word for a month.
