13 Demotivators from despair.com

This site provides posters, mugs, notepads and lots more for the workplace. They all have great pictures, but instead of the usual inspirational drivel, they have slogans for the real life in the office. I've actually had some these up at my workplace before. (Back when I used to work, that is.) If you're already feeling bummed today, you might not want to read any further. If you're in a good mood, go for it. The pictures have a lot to do with the slogans, so follow the links too.

1. Adversity - That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

2. Cluelessness - There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

3. Dare to Slack - When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

4. Despair - It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.

5. Fear - Until you have to courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea.

6. Get to Work - You are not being paid to believe in the power of your dreams.

7. Futility - You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and , statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

8. Give Up - At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.

9. Individuality - Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

10. Laziness - Success is a journey, not a destination. So stop running.

11. Meetings - None of us is as dumb as all of us.

12. Mistakes - It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

13. Stupidity - Quitters never win, and winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
