There was a funny editorial in the Chicago Tribune today with some fun demotivation phrases. Here are a few:

~ There's a large poster with a gorgeous sunset over a rocky shore, with "Motivation" emblazoned below it. A demotivational message reads: "If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon."

~ On meetings: "None of us is as dumb as all of us."

~ On consulting: "If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem." [Isn't that the truth?!]

~ A warning: "It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black."

~ On the purpose of life: "It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others." [Could be the purpose of my life!]

~ Illustrated by a shooting star: "When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor."

They conclude that while motivational products don't work, demotivational products don't work even better. Smile

Do any of you have demotivational phrases?

One such used to be my signature line here.


Remember, every silver lining has a cloud.

Hope for the best but expect the worst.
You'll never be disappointed.

If at first you don't succeed, then maybe failure is what you're good at.
