If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

I just hung two of their posters from their last sale last night. Then this morning I found this e-mail in my in box. I don't have any more room on my walls, but hopefully some of you do. These posters are awesome!
If you buy any, post back what you got.

I've got the Motivation one. I like "Meetings - None of us is as dumb as all of us". I also have a bunch of them cut out from their calendars hanging up around my office. I think people mistake them for regular motivational posters at first.

Yes, the post was meant to infer that I received an e-mail about this sale from Despair Inc. and then decided to share it with everyone here (and on Fatwallet) to allow for others to get in on the sale.
Their posters are great, but I could never force myself to pay $16 for them. But at $10, I bought 3, and figured there would be plenty of others willing to buy some themselves.

Inevitably, if I buy today the price will be lowered tomorrow. Oh, bother.

My two favorites:
Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99% perspiration, which is why engineers sometimes smell really bad.
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.

Wishes is my favorite one. I have it right above my monitors.

Two of my favorites:
(Showing a sinking boat) "It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others."
(Showing a skier jumping off a cliff) "It hurts to admit when you make mistakes - but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second."
