statement of purpose

there was this company which made us fill a loooooooong form! there was a question which said - every leader has a statement of purpose. what is your statement of purpose? to which i wrote :

Agent Smith says: It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drives us. It is purpose that defines, purpose that binds us.

And yet, my statement of purpose is to have no purpose. This might be termed desultory but I prefer to call it fluidity. How can I chart out a path or even envision one when the landscape I'm traversing keeps changing by the day? I don't want to let my dreams be bound and shaped by a purpose.

Does that mean I'll be blown away by every storm I chance to cross? Or that I'll try to evade every such turmoil? No, because water may seem fluid and shapeless and weak but try hitting the surface of a pool with an open palm and it hurts. Water charts its own path across mountains and valleys, conquering everything just because its very amorphousness gives it the power to permeate and win over all.

But of one thing I'm sure. My leadership style is going to be inclusive – to the maximum possible extent. Because I believe in these lines:

When you say 'I lead'
Don't let the 'I' lead you
Leadership isn't about
Walking ahead of others
Walk together and see yourself
Leading 'I' and everyone else.

'Purposeless with a clear leadership style' isn't the best statement of purpose that could be. But I'm not dreamless. And that, I believe, is all I need.

the masterstroke, of course, was 'naween - oct, 2007'!! hee haw!!

needless to say, i wasn't even shortlisted [:D]!!

btw, there was another question below this: what are your short term and long term goals?

short term: to earn lots of money

long term: refer to the answer above (by which i meant the SOP)

:D :D :D
