    Semi-related to the one-liners thread. I have just started full time work and the marketing department are going to print off business cards for me. Exciting! The same marketing department demand all staff to select a short "inspirational quote", which will be printed on the back of the business card. Considerably less exciting.

    I am stumped b/c my main hero in life is probably Daria Morgendorffer and most of the stuff she says is the opposite of what these bullshit marketing people want.

    Basically tl/dr does anyone know any snappy quotes about success or achievement or whatever that some vaguely cool people said that would be more or less acceptable to put on a business card.

    So I sent them Winston Churchill's “Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it", which I guess has rebellious undertones but I thought fit with the firm's ethos of thinking outside the square, challenging oneself, and championing new business ideas. But it was rejected! I was told to think of something more "motivational, but with a positive message".

    I then sent them a bunch more that were more vague and aphoristic and told them to pick one for me. One day if I run my own firm, i'll make sure that "There is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza" is the global motto.

    I'd love to enter this person's mind as s/he decided to reject that quote...
