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"?

Sounds like the kind of career path that ends with Rat saying, “Say hello to my little friend!”

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.
