If you’re happy and your know it, clap your hands! … The one not clapping over there is probably your cranky co-worker. Some of us are luckily enough to be doing something we love, but others might not love their jobs. But that’s no reason for having a cranky cubical. So cheer up because today is Cranky Co-Workers Day.
Successories has lots of desktop products to motivate a smile on your face. From our Positive Pals to our Motivational Rubik’s Cube, we have the tools to crank out the cranky.
Learn to balance work and play... or just play at work.
A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove…but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.
I know we are all busy with our careers becoming successful. But if you have children, what drives you to succeed? Is it not them? Who inspires you? Is it not your children? So why let work drive you away from them.
So, today, leave work at a reasonable hour. Turn off your blackberry. Go home and have dinner with you kids and enjoy some quality time we don’t all take advantage of because The National Center on Addictions and Substance Abuse (CASA) has declared the fourth Monday of September as Family Day, a day to eat dinner with your kids!
In 1986, American Business Women’s Day became a national holiday in order to recognize the female population in the work force. As they save, behind every powerful man is a woman. Same goes with business and organizations. Take this day to honor the women who make the organization what it is everyday.
By the President Ronald Reagan:
American business women have made significant and increasing contributions to our economy and to the competitiveness of the United States internationally. The need continues for American working women to expand their horizons, diversify their skills, and set high personal and career goals. The American Business Women’s Association, a national educational association, has greatly assisted in this effort. The Association awarded $2,900,000 in scholarships to over 6,000 women in 1984, and more than $18,000,000 in scholarships since 1949. The Association has more than 110,000 members and 2,100 chapters, throughout the United States. This organization has encouraged the many important contributions of American business women to our Nation’s continuing vitality.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 196, has designated September 22, 1986, as “American Business Women’s Day” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 22, 1986, as American Business Women’s Day

Success doesn’t happen over night. Failure might… but success is a long road with many mile stones. The perfect metaphor for success comes from our prehistoric friend the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Do you think he was really king of the dinos since setting foot on earth? If you did, think again, because the towering beast we all know from Jurassic Park actually started off as a pint sized cute-y 60 million years prior to being crowned king. According to researches, a newly discovered fossil reveals an earlier species, Raptorex kriegsteini, that would have weighed around 65kg; its descendants were 90 times as massive. (Source: BBC News)

While he might not have danced his way to victory on Dancing with The Stars, Mark Cuban has had many successful ventures in his career and we can learn a lot from a recent column he wrote for Wall Street Pit. How many of us have been asked to write a pitch, and have made similar mistakes with our tone and authenticity in a pitch. While we should always believe in our company, brand and product, we always need to remember who we are sending the pitch or proposal too and make sure we tailor it to be effective. So instead of hyping up your product is used car salesmen type way, lets all take a few minutes next time we sit down to write and make sure we sending out a quality piece of work.
Essence of Success Birches Framed Motivational Poster
Motivational Quote:
Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth’s beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves.
Breaking Through
Look around. What do you see? If you’re inside, you might see walls, doorways, a computer, furniture. But if you’re outside, do you see nature? Even in the most concrete jungles, plants find their way through crevices.
When I was growing up, I had an advertisement for Oneida flatware cut out from a magazine and pinned to the corkboard wall of my bedroom. The ad showed a photograph of a small pink flower blooming from a crack in a vast, gray asphalt surface. To my childhood self, this bloom represented the very essence of hope.
I once read a story about a teacher who had her elementary school class plant daffodil bulbs – which looked like brown, papery teardrops – in the fall to experience the magic of transformation. She wanted them to see that these strange lifeless shapes would become sunny yellow flowers in the spring.
Imagine her dismay when the school expanded their parking lot and paved over the “garden” that the students had planted. She was concerned that the students would be severely disappointed.
Months later on a warm spring day, a student came to her to tell her about a strange green pointed plant coming out of the parking lot. The class went outside to look, and sure enough, the daffodils were pushing up through the asphalt. The dismay was now transferred to the pavers, but the children were beside themselves with glee. The administration allowed the daffodils to bloom before fixing the parking lot’s surface and the children got to experience transformation and hope, against all odds.
Look around. Every blade of grass, every dazzling flower, every intricately detailed leaf is a proclamation of hope. What a great lesson for us!
