Positive Living

General Patton’s philosophies may have made him just as controversial as he was successful on the violent battlefields of World War II. He does have a point, though: Some people do spend ghastly amounts of time planning instead of executing. Perfection-standard thinking may produce wonderfully complex schemes, but perhaps at the cost of losing time-sensitive opportunities. So, if you think that’s great advice, stop mulling it over and order this inspirational Patton poster or t-shirt now!

They say that history repeats itself. We should never forget what the past has taught us, but we should challenge its ways when it is trying to repeat itself. The results will never change if we don't do something to make the change possible.

Larry Page, Co-founder of Google Inc.

How do you set yourself apart from your competition? Providing customers and your fellow employees with more than what they expected is a great way to create a positive image for yourself, proceed with caution.

Aaron Levie, CEO and Co-Founder of Box

You're full of ideas, but you need to weed out the good from the not-so-good. So ask yourself a few questions... What do people want? What do people need? What are people going to want and need, because it is wicked awesome?

We often ask new business owners what their 3 year plan is and they respond with, "I’m going to graduate from my business incubator and then sell my company to Facebook or Google for millions." They have no desire to run a company, they just want to get rich fast and get out. That's why we say "Business Incubators Are For Sellouts."

Don't be someone who only starts a business to sell it down the road. Start a business to fulfil a need.

For a man who made a living fighting and making movies, the legendary martial artist, Bruce Lee, was also an amazing philosopher. This shirt displays one of his most famous quotations: "Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has become accepted as a reality." With his wisdom and wit, Bruce Lee has inspired millions to strengthen their minds as well as their bodies. Wear this t-shirt to remember this legendary figure. 

For a man who made a living hitting people in the head, he also touched men in the heart with beautiful, inspirational quotes like this one. He may have been a martial artist, but he was a fighter in a whole different way.

Being a fighter doesn’t always involve fists. It means never giving up.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Picture this: you’re at a restaurant, you’ve been waiting for your food, and you are absolutely starving! (You’ve ordered drinks loaded with garnishes to soothe your appetite.) At this point, you would rather receive your meal regardless of its presentation. You don’t need a pretty plate; you need sustenance before those Bloody Mary’s hit your blood stream.

The infamous Mark Zuckerberg, said, “Done is better than perfect.” Sometimes, immediate action is more important than a “perfect” finished product.

We've all been to restaurants that are so-so. Don't own that place. Own the place across the street that has amazing food, amazing customer service, amazing everything. Amazing!

It's okay to be different. Challenge others. Break the mold. Do not be like everyone else.

"Get the Right People. Make Them Happy. Turn Them Loose." How's that for an inspirational business quote? This idea worked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Nick Fury sought out the right people, brought them together, and gave them purpose. Then he turned them loose to become the Avengers and save the world. Just saying, if it worked for superheroes, that’s a pretty solid strategy. Sure, there were multiple confrontations in the movie. Iron Man and Captain America bickered almost the entire time like an old married couple. And Hulk punched Thor in the face, knocking him right out of the frame. So much violence at the start, but then they all bonded into best buds. They even reassembled for a sequel with new characters and more inter-group fighting; it was awesome. Long story short: Get the right people and you will have long-lasting success at work or at the box office.
