Can you motivate someone?
4 Mar
I’ve never been one to read motivation books, and other crap like that, they just make me bored or sleepy.
So, in view of that, I laughed earlier on today at a work off-site when one of my colleagues said something similar.
He told us that one day he had to do talk on empowerment and motivation, so for an entire hour, he subjected the audience to sad posters and sayings that were de-motivational and dis-empowering. At the end of this ramble, he asked them whether they were ready to slit their wrists.
They responded no… his reply was then why do they think that motivational posters would work… it’s the same thing!! We’re just conditioned to think that they make a difference!
Makes you think.. well earlier today it made me laugh… now at this very moment, I’m too tired to think anything, so goodnight 
and no, I won’t be reading some motivational book in bed, even though it will put me straight to sleep!
Hehe… I remember when I had to edit a book on mining. I used to take the work to bed – surest cure for insomnia ever.
Demotivational posters are so much more fun than motivational ones.
Oh those motivation posters are so lame. I rather give the staff chocolate -works much better.
Teehee… makes perfect sense to me.
