Are the patterns moving?
Or are they perfectly still??
Is this moving - Stress Test image!
What's happening here? Stress Test image No.2
The patterns are used to test the
level of stress a person can handle.
The slower the pictures move, the
better your ability of handling stress.
Alleged criminals that were tested
see them spinning around madly.
However, senior citizens and kids
see them standing still.
None of these images are animated
– they are perfectly still.
I know it was nothing to do with motivational cartoons – but a friend emailed them to me this morning and I thought I’d share them with you! I haven’t a clue why this happens – any ideas?
REASON # 8 – You believe that you can only make
money if you have money.
You Can't Beat A Great Desire!
If you were to analyse how self-made millionaires made their
fortune, you would undoubtedly find that most of them started
with practically nothing.
With opportunities such as Network Marketing and the Internet
ordinary people have the opportunity to start a business at
very little cost. The degree of effort, and not the amount of
money, separates the rich from the poor.
Why is it that when you look at the Western world there is a
higher proportion of ethnic-minority millionaires than in the
general population? Part of it may be in the difference in
cultures…but the biggest reason is DESIRE.
How many stories do you read year after where millionaires
are interviewed…and they say that they came to America with
only the clothes on their back?
Because they appreciate how lucky they are…and what an
opportunity it is for them…they work…and work…and work.
They work until they become successful. Money doesn’t come
into the equation.
Success is a feeling…it isn’t an amount.
Once you realise that, you will realise that money is just a
part of the overall package.
REASON # 7 – You look at what you can buy with
your salary increase – not how much you can save.
I know many people that have homes to die for. The only
problem is that their mortgage is bigger than the house!
The equation is simple – if you increase your borrowings in
line with your salary you will be poor when you retire. If
you increase your savings in line with your salary you will
become rich when you retire. It’s really that simple.
In the classic book “The Richest Man in Babylon”, George S.
Clason wrote that if you saved 10% of your salary every
month…you would become rich. Although the book was written
in the early 20th century…it’s probably more relevant than
ever.
Save a proportion of your salary every month…even if it is
only 1%. And make sure that you cannot easily access it. If
you do this…not only will you have some money behind you
…but you will also get into the habit of saving.
Believe me…once you get into that habit…you will get as
much pleasure from saving and investing as you do from
spending.
It may seem unbelievable to you…but take my word for it –
it’s true!

Going The Extra Mile!
The above is a cartoon on my Cartoon Motivators site, someone saw this and then commissioned a redraw of the cartoon for one of their advertisements…
Going The Extra Mile advertisement
I’m happy to work with you on your ideas, marketing and advertising!
I started drawing this cartoon up last week – then got sidetracked with urgent pressure jobs, so it’s probably lost a bit of it’s effect now that the show is over. But it still has a motivational message underneath it – YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE IN!
Moral: “Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the
world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else
would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.”
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!
