EXAMPLES “My mission in life is to have my own family. I need to remember that what I do now in my life will affect them. Because of this, I try my best to do the right things that will benefit my future. I would someday like to have a large farm with horses where I can help handicapped children. I'd like to work with animals, perhaps even be a veterinarian. Most of all, I want to have time for my family. So today, I will study hard and stay away from things that may hinder my dream from happening.” -Anonymous • Profitable growth through superior customer service, innovation, quality and commitment. -AGCO Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.
