Always Remember you are Unique. Just Like Everyone Else

I used to have a very important job in the City. Our Operations Director was called PJ, he once had dinner with Princess Diana, he wore braces and red glasses. He had floppy blond hair. And his office was full of those motivational posters with eagles on them, with things like: "There are two ways to climb an oak tree - one is to climb, the other is to sit on an acorn".

Here are some more relevant motivational posters which would be in my office if I were a high-powered executive. My personal favourites:

"WISHES: 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."

"MOTIVATION: 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."
