I believe I had suggested "purpose." I realize that's not much better
than goal/mission, but it's less corporate than "mission," and is more
focused on why we exist than what we think we've accomplished (as goal
and objective are), in my opinion.

Yes I recall that. For me this somehow sounds wrong - but again that may
be due to my non-native "ear".
Phil, what do you think about "purpose"?
Urs
To me, it's a very uninspiring word. NASA had a goal of landing a man on
the moon (http://history.nasa.gov/moondec.html). Its purpose was much
more mundane.

Found the quote: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to
achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon
and returning him safely to the earth."
