I keep coming across motivational sayings, but wonder about some of them. My current favourite is “No Pain – No Gain”, whereas in reality it should surely be, “No Pain – Good”.
So, in an effort to bring some of these sayings into line, I offer you the following:
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” or rather ” If at first you don’t succeed – give up – try something easier” alternatively, “If at first you don’t succeed – try management”.
“Aim High to Reach your Goal” or “Aim low, reach your goal, avoid disappointment”.
“Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today” should be “Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether”.
And some others I quite like…
“Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.”
“Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity”
“A person who smiles in the face of adversity…probably has a scapegoat.”
“Plagiarism saves time.”
“Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all people who opposed them.”
“If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos…then you probably haven’t completely understood the seriousness of the situation.”
“Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups.”
“We waste time, so you don’t have to.”
“Hang in there, retirement is only fifty years away!”
I hope that these help shape your day today….
