Demoralizing Insight from www.despair.com (Despair Inc.),
Some of it is really quite insightful.
I recommend going to the site so you can see the rest, and see the accompanying pretty pictures.

Thoughts on:

Futility: You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

Underachievement: The tallest blade of grass is the first to get cut by the lawnmower.

Despair: It's always darkest before it goes pitch black.

Demotivation: Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just ot fire all of the unhappy people.

Irresponsiblity: No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

Regret: It hurts to admit when you make mistakes- but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second.

Bitterness: Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there's nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams.

Dysfunction: The only consistent feature of all your dissatisfying relationships is you.

Conformity: When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

Delusions: There is no joy greater than soaring on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land except in the ocean of reality.

Incompetence: When you earnestly belive you can compensate for lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end ot what you can't do.

Lonliness: If you find yourself struggling with lonliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.

Flattery: If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.

Indifference: It takes 42 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Individuality: Always remember that you are unique, just like everybody else.

Intimidation: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent, but you'd be a fool to withhold that from your superiors.

Leaders: Leaders are like eagles, we don't have any of them here.

Limitations: Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Motivation: If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.
