Develop Your Own Mission Statement

Who are you?

Where are you going?

What will you do with your life?

 

This is a Personal Mission Statement exercise. It's about discovering yourself, about finding out what's most important to you, and what is your unque mission in life.

It's also about finding your fire within, the thing that moves you, drives you, and motivates you.  Taking your time to seriously consider your answers to the questions in the document here will help you to build a mission statement that can be your vision of your future.

Are you ready?

Grandma and the Trolls

You are on your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made.

Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make believe, there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake.

Question: How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma's with exactly 2 cakes?
