Quotes

In the company that I work in now, someone from HR sends everyone an inspirational quote everyday first thing in the morning (how cool is that!!!!) so this post is a sample of the best of them over the last 3-4 months and my thoughts on the quote.

Knowledge is a process of piling up facts (Copy as many things as you can from google) Wisdom lies in their simplification(remove alternate sentences so that people don’t think you’ve copied the whole thing)

A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug. Unless of course the drug is really really gud, then the positive mental attitude is not needed.

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending. You might be feeling good because it’s your first day at work, but wait till you put in your papers, you’ll be ecstatic.

Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them. If we screw you over don’t worry, look at it as an opportunity to find another job.

Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about. If you’re planning to give up smoking and you can’t stop thinking about it, it’s not worth giving it up.

You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be. If your life sucks, IT’S YOUR FAULT!!!

Your problem is never really your problem; your reaction to your problem is your problem. WHAT!!! If my problem is not my problem, is my problem your problem?

There Is No Next Time, No Time Outs, No Second Chances, Sometimes It's Now Or Never. You screw up, your outta here.

Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations. Always I repeat ALWAYS look for an alternative meaning.

Set your goals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you. Always tread the mediocre path, don’t aim high because you will FAIL!!!

The distance between your dreams and reality is a problem; if you get rid of the problem then your dreams become reality.If you really want that Ferrari, money is the problem, so if you get rid of the money, you should get the Ferrari. Correct? WRONG!!!

Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier. Isn’t life all about living? I don’t get it…
Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving. If you want to get rid of your tensions then you are a failure, however if you do something that is goal achieving then you are a winner with tensions. How cool is that??

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking. All you people do dig you nose (you know who are) if you do that when no one is looking, that means you are inquisitive.

Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down. So if you are mean to people on your way up, then you don’t have to bother because you are not coming down. This makes sense; the world seems to work this way somehow.

So these quotes that are sent daily are supposed to keep up motivated n all but frankly I don’t even read it most of the time. But if I were the HR I would send people a joke instead. Or if they are interested I could sent everyone a quote I make up every day. Some examples

‘Don’t fret because today is Monday, it’s the first day in the week where you could find yourself another job’

Happy Friday, look forward to the weekend ahead, but at the back of your mind know that you will be back here come Monday’

‘The path to success is filled with obstacles along the way, the best way is not to avoid them; backstabbing and plotting against them will help accelerate you to the top’

‘The person sitting to the left of you and to the right of you are competing for your job, your promotion, your salary, your bonus...kill or be killed’

‘Teamwork is a concept coined by someone who didn’t know how to get things done himself.’

‘Success comes in many forms, for some it means a promotion, for others it means a new job, but for you it could just mean getting through this day’
