Motivation

I don’t normally post up Internet sourced photos for the whole subject of the day’s post, but today I’m going to.

I received these pictures via email today, in the usual way that these emails float about, so I assume that you may have seen these before. For those that haven’t seen them, please enjoy.

Credit for the pictures goes to whatever website they were sourced from, some of the photos have that written on them, the others – who knows.

Back to normal next time – well you could at least try to sound excited about that!

These pictures made me laugh because they are ridiculously similar to the real motivational pictures that we have on the walls in our office, but which are supposed to be serious. I realise that this is exactly what the photos are supposed to be like of course. I don’t think they were created by someone who became inspired after visiting my own office though, I have an inkling that my company isn’t the only one in the world that tries to motivate its staff with a rubbish photo of a happy customer next to the slogan,”Stop slacking or we will fire you”, or a picture of a triumphant mountain climber with “We are monitoring your internet use – be warned”.

Anyone who works in the kind of office that firmly believes that the best way of motivating its staff, is to spend the money that could have otherwise been added to their salary on motivational posters, please enjoy what the Internet has kindly provided…
