>organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful

Not inspired by that? Is it too abstract? Asked another way, what kind of mission would inspire you? FYI I do agree with the general sentiment by munchbunny.

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?

moralestapia's point, as I understand it, is cynicism towards broad, idealistic mission statements because large tech companies with them still have a history of using their employees in what he/she perceives to be immoral ways.

The mission statements mentioned, in order, correspond to:

* Google * Facebook * Amazon * Uber

Because we've been hearing such phrases so often that we are now immune.
