"There is a subtle difference between a mission and a promise. A mission is something that you strive to accomplish – a promise is something you are compelled to keep. One is individual, the other is shared. When a mission and a promise are one and the same, that's when mountains are moved, and races are won.” – Hala Moddelmog
