Unmotivational quotes
I loathe motivational quotes. Here are some better ones.
Oh no, Lydia, I wouldn't know how to start! I was talking with a couple of people on Twitter about how ghastly and pointless most motivational quotes are, and I put 'worst inspirational quotes' into Google, to put this together for them!!
Hahaha! Brilliant., i especially liked the last two! I SO agree with you. I have a friend who keeps sending me motivational memes....she is lovely, but oh dear...the quotes are all so twee!
Don't forget the sunsets and rainbows...!! I love the dreams on (though it could have been phrased better!) and the natural causes. And oh yes, the Abe Lincoln one....
Ha ha ha!!! And a big 'attagirl' to you for not being sniffy about me taking the piss, because I know you're into all this motivational stuff!! You could try the natural causes one, but I think the dreams one might affect your book sales...!! xxx
Thanks! So weird, something I cobbled together in 10 minutes (or less than!) to amuse Carl Rackman and A Bloke Dyslexic on Twitter and haven't even tweeted - and it's become my most viewed blog post after the alcohol post which is almost always my most viewed (think it must have caught a hashtag somewhere!) and the most popular of those wretched Plague video game walkthroughs that I sometimes wish I'd never done.... go figure!!!!
And I take ages replying to them because I have to log onto another browser to comment on blogger (God knows why!) so I wait until I have a few to answer!!!
Yep...I'm with you on this.....as I've always maintained...one day, I aspire to go on tour as a demotivational speaker....my kids tell me I'm a natural....
Oh, I adored this post. It was so funny.
ReplyDeleteThere are occasionally motivational quotes that I find useful, but I must agree that a lot of them miss the mark.
Did you come up with these unmotivational quotes yourself, or did you find them somewhere?

DeleteI might slip some of these into my news feed on my motivational Facebook group and see if they notice ;)
