CareerBeam Values and Vision


As a person, my ideal future is best implemented in my mission statement. "To be the best person I can be in all aspects of my life. To pursue all tangible task and aspects of life. To find a balance between social, political, and economic ideal that engulf my world. To remain a man of integrity through times of hardship. To maintain a sense of self through times of negative influence and procrastination. To be a leader in a time of nothing but followers. And above all, to learn competence, conscience, compassion when being a man for others (Jesuit High School Mission Statement)." As far as my future life goals, my vision is to simply be the best I can be in whatever endeavour I decide to pursue. Whether I stay at accounting or decide to change to a visual arts major, I decide to dedicate to any task I plan to accomplish. The future hold unknown aspect of life that might change my personality. I hope I take that change with a willingness to learn. However, there are multiple benefits to writing a Vision Statement. The main benefit is mapping out a life plan. Those without a plan, plan to fail as my father would like to say. Other benefits are becoming a decisive person, becoming a leader, allowing for clarity in thinking, and allowing intelligable ways of thinking and analyzing life. The main challenge to writing a Vision Statement is trying to find exactly what you want to stand for in life. Those who go through life with out a clear path find it harder to write a vision statement because they do not define what they want to do. Being one of those people who traveled with the stream through high school, I found writing a mission statement very hard. However as a college student, I find myself organizing my life in a more grown-up fashion. Therefore, I find it much easier to write a Vision Statement as I become of age and become more mature. With age come responsibility. The value that is most important to me is being a man for others. As Professor Howard taught me, the reason for the recent company crashes is that companies are starting to use people as a mean to and end rather then just treating them as people. Therefore, I figure as long as I am a man for others, I will never fall victim to the failures and falls of man. However, putting that value in daily practice seems to be somewhat of a difficulty for me. I try to help out others as much as possible. However, friends and family often times need help with immoral activities; or at the least, activities that I find hard to participate in. I try my best to be a man for others but at the same time not a push over. Lifted Research Group Co. exemplifies the exact meaning of a quality mission statement. Their Mission Statement goes, "L-R-G is a company designed to overthrow the masses by using our influence. Our Slogan is simple, 'underground inventive, overground effective.' At L-R-G we want to focus on the ones that are trying to pay their rent with heir passions. think of us as a support group for the independent and underground culture. We're trying to put the spotlight where we think it really belongs, because it is much more than clothing and concepts, it is a way of living. L-R-G innovative essence for the above average person. As always, thank you for supporting the ones that support you."  Working for an organization with these ideal would allow me create and harvest an environment of artistry, creation, and innovation. The healthiest environment are those that allow you to grow. Thinking outside the box is the key to knowledge.

Your personality generally stays constant, it's the moral decisions you make as you encounter challenges in life that will show your willingness to stay true to yourself. A creative, innovative work environment will help your thrive as a strong business leader. Have you considered a minor in the Visual Arts?
