I'm very inspired by inspirational things - but can't believe there's anyone left who would feel real inspiration from those. Perhaps the first company that decided their mission would be "to make the world a better place" would have sounded (and maybe even been) good - but now it's just meaningless word-salad disguised as a profound statement. It's the "trite motivational poster" of the business world.

In a way those statements all would have been inspiring when the company set out and the world didn't have those things. Is it possible that those companies have achieved those missions to such an extent that it's no longer inspiring? That would be the mark of an epic success. The question is what comes next?
