Hi,
I was just looking through my filing cabinets(I’ve got three full of cartoons I’ve done over the last 25 years – I hardly ever go into them nowadays because of the computer!) for something to put on here.
I can across this cartoon I did for my local Chamber Of Commerce.
The brief was to illustrate ‘You can climb higher with help and support of others’
It must be over 20 years since I did this and probably one of my first ever commissions for motivational cartoons! My style has changed quite a bit too!
Women Working Together!
Here’s a few ‘Working Together’ quotes…
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Henry Ford
“The best teamwork comes from men and women who are working independently toward one goal in unison.” James Cash Penney
“Together we aspire, together we achieve.”- found on trinidad’s coat of arms
“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” – Andrew Carnegie: Quotes on Teamwork
Here are some of my ‘action’ quotes – hope you like them and the cartoon!?
Well done is better than well said. – Benjamin Franklin
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing – Albert Einstein
Action = Success
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. – Frank Tibolt
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied. – Arnold Glasow
Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold – but so does a hard-boiled egg. – Author Unknown
It’s just dawned on me this morning that I’m being totally negative! I’ve had sore knees for some months now – I don’t know if this is just wear and tear after all these years of playing football/soccer and squash.(I’m 55 in July and I’m trying to keep active as long as possible!)
I’ve only just realized that when I play a game I’m moaning about my injuries and telling friends I’m ‘on my way out’ ‘hanging my boots up’ etc. What am I doing? I’m being so negative! Last year I said I was taking up golf so as not to put any more strain on my knees and forget the footy and squash. And although I really got into the game I have drifted back to my favourite sports. But the reason for recent bad games/results is down to my negative thinking. I’m slipping down the squash leagues, players you I had previously thrashed are now beating me. I’m feeling really sorry for myself and looking for attention. Well, from today I’m stopping this decline! I’ll keep you informed.
In the meantime here’s a cartoon I drew some time ago that helps illustrate the above….
Believe You Can and you can!
I read this from Joe Vitale’s ezine this morning and it stopped me dead in my tracks and force me to pull myself together…
If you want to attract money, for example, see
yourself already wealthy, feel the joy of helping
yourself and others with the money, and repeat
this in your mind as much as its fun to do so.
By doing this you will “brand” your mind with the
new you. Once it takes hold (which can be very
fast), and you act on your ideas, you will begin
to attract money.
The lesson here is this: to change yourself you
need to use imagery, emotion, and repetition. Do
all three and virtually anything is possible.
Have you been watching Britain’s Got Talent?
Susan Boyle, has captured the world’s attention.
In case you’ve missed it, she’s a 47-year-old unemployed charity
worker who lives with her cat in a small village in Scotland.
Susan Boyle is a phenomenal role model for all of us, not just
because of her talent or her courage or her perseverance or her
supportive friends. She is a phenomenal role model for us
because she is us, in all our awkward ordinariness and amazing
extraordinariness.
Some say she’s an overnight success – but she has been practicing her singing since she was 12 years old – so it’s actually overnight is 35 years!
Her YouTube video has received 50,000,000 hits – I’m thinking
of asking her to appear on my web site!!
I did this cartoon years ago – before computers(It’s in watercolour!) for a company in the UK. They produced water meters and I made the word ‘Success’ up of drawings of actual meters. It was the illustrate the point:
“Quality is everyone’s business”
We all contribute to the success of our business.
We all can contribute to making it better.
Recently someone saw this cartoon on my Cartoon Studio web site and asked me to update/redraw it….
Building Success one brick at a time!
Here are a few quotes on ‘building success’….
“Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough” – Unknown
“I think this team has done a good job, even when we were losing last year, of forgetting about the game before, … This team is really resilient. Right now, we’re just building on success.” – Jay Cutler
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. – Winston Churchill
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
