In the early stages of figuring out what your business is, deciding on a mission statement which will serve the business both now and in the future, meeting the needs of funders, employees, and customers, is difficult. The challenge is to make the mission statements specific enough that it is clear that it is for your business alone and would not work just as well for another business or a competitor, while making it general enough to allow for your strategy to develop over time.

I couldn't imagine how a tremour underneath in the form of an earthquake by tectonic plate movements caused a massive disaster in the coastal areas of most of the Indian Ocean Rim countries.
