2025 Best of Demotivators® Wall Calendar

2025 Demotivators® Wall Calendar

Accomplishments

You can fool all of the people all of the time if your effects budget is large enough.

Accountability

A word leaders start to use right before the scapegoating begins.

Achievement

You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.

Acquisition

The discovery that you're no longer a big fish in a small pond, or even a small fish in a big pond, but a small fish in a big fish.

Adaptation

The bad news is robots can do your job now. The good news is we're now hiring robot repair technicians. The worse news is we're working on robot-fixing robots- and we do not anticipate any further good news.

Adventure

Keep living life like there's no tomorrow and you'll be right sooner than you think.

Adversity

That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

Affirmation

Instilling the self-confidence kids will need to carry them through all the failure they'll experience because they weren't taught competence instead.

Agony

Not all pain is gain.

All Meme Animals Go to Heaven T-Shirt

Ambition

The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.

Apathy

If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us.

Arrogance

The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too.

Aspiration

I hear the call to do nothing and am doing my best to answer it.

Attitude

If you can’t handle me at my worst, you deserve to know it’s also my best.

Attitude-Platitude

Your attitude determines your altitude about as much as that platitude inspires my gratitude.

Bailouts

From each according to his ability, to each according to his lack thereof.

Be the Bridge

That way we can walk all over you on our way to better places.

Beauty

If you're attractive enough on the outside, people will forgive you for being irritating to the core.

Believe

Don’t let anyone tell you that dreams can’t come true; my life’s turned into a long, waking nightmare.

Believe in Yourself

Because the rest of us think you're an idiot.

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.

Blame

The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.

Blogging

Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

Bravery

Every man dies. But not every man truly lives only to die of sheer stupidity.

Break the Rules

On your own time. Here, you get paid to conform.

Build-Your-Own-Calendar

Burnout

Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you.

Caution

Life doesn't always want to be grabbed by the horns.

Caution-Iceberg

Disaster awaits those who ignore hidden threats. We trust you'll find this sufficiently motivating.

Challenges

I expected times like this - but never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent.

Change

When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can turn into deadly projectiles.

Change

Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

Change (Mafia)

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned individuals can change the world. Indeed, it's how we got stuck with the IRS, the Federal Reserve and the Mafia.

Change-History

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change history, usually by rewriting it.

Cluelessness

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

Collaborate

So the best of us have to carry the rest of us.

Collaboration

When a motivated group of people join together, they can turn problems into opportunities. Especially drinking problems.

Collaboration-Hands

It's not much use pooling your resources if your chief resource is stupidity.

Commitment

You don't have to be crazy to work here, but if you are, you'll be taken care of.

Committees

Just like teamwork. Only without the work.

Competence

If You Can't Learn to Do it Well, At Least Learn to Enjoy Doing it Badly.

Complacency

Because certain things are worth fighting for, in a certain way, up to a certain point.

Compromise

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Compromise-Meet

Meet me halfway. You need the exercise.

Confidence

If you believe in yourself firmly enough, you can attempt not just the difficult, but even the truly ridiculous.
