#1 My Mission in Life

“Para kanino ka ba bumabangon?”, a line from Nescafe advertisement that had just caught my attention lately. It was a bit the same with questions like “what is your goal in life?”, “what is your purpose?” and the like that have filled my mind since my teacher in my English class assigned us to write about our mission statement. Those questions really put me into deep thought because I seldom think about it and now it worries me a bit.

“What will happen to me after I graduate in college? What will I be 10 years from now? Will I going to be a teacher, a famous badminton player or will I continue to be an actor in the political arena? Until now I have not really decided yet what career path will I take after college, so I decided to ask a help from my virtual friend – Google. According to missionstatements.com home page, 2011,

“a mission statement defines in a paragraph or so any entity’s reason for existence. It embodies its philosophies, goals, ambitions, and mores. Any entity that attempts to operate without a mission statement runs the risk of wandering through the world without having the ability to verify that it is on its intended course”.

In other words making a mission statement is like seeking your purpose in life, or setting a long term goal. Mission statement serves as guidance and a direction to individuals to how they want their life to turn-out. In making missions in life, you weigh things which are more important or less important to you.

            For an architect he’s mission statement is the blue print of the building, for a traveler – the travel map and for the teacher – the lesson plan. Individuals must choose a path to focus for a brighter future and successful career thus will lead you to a more meaningful life.

            As for now, my mission statement would be:

To live, laugh and love. This means finding happiness and sharing happiness, sharing love to those who love me and to those who need it and to enjoy what life offers me in every day of my life. To live a peaceful life and to find contentment. To achieve fulfillment to my hopes and dreams. To touch others lives by spreading kindness and sharing my experiences and knowledge. And lastly, to always be good citizen, a good friend, a good brother, a good son to my parents and to God.

            From this day onward all my plans and deeds will be govern by my mission statement. In that matter, my goal would be to graduate in MSU-IIT with honors, find a stable job, impart my knowledge in badminton to the new generation, help my family to the best that I can do, take a second course or a Masters Degree, and to have my own family. And to everything I’ll do and going to achieve, these I will offer to God.

            There is possibility of failing and a chance to succeed but I am willing to accept the challenge in succeeding it. Through hardworking, self-confidence, courage, faith and prayer, there is a great possibility in everything. Remember that anything unattempted remains impossible.
