A Little Imagination for the Office

The gorgeous Imagination Poster above says, “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.” Great advice. Great poster!

I love having quotes, words, and pictures near my workspace to inspire and motivate me. Some days need it more than others, right? Given the popularity of motivational and inspirational posters for the office, apparently I’m not alone.

One of my favorite motivational sayings (actually it’s just one word) is written on an index card and hangs on a cork board above my desk. The word is GAMBARU. It’s Japanese for “Never ever give up, even and especially when there’s no chance of winning.” You can read more about it in an article on my Self Help website.

I was up against something a few days ago and I must have glanced at the word (which I wrote in bright different colors) about 100 times. Once, I found myself just staring at it. I guess I expected a magical Japanese Genie to pop off of the card and lend a hand.

Sadly that never happened. Would have made for an excellent story. But I did win the epic battle I was facing at that moment. Gambaru!

Ooh, I love new words. That one’s definitely going in my “must use this new vocabulary word today” file. Do you pronounce Gambaru sort of like kangaroo?

Funny story about mixed up pronunciation. My first time ordering tiramisu at a restaurant I didn’t know it was an Italian desert. So, I asked for Tira MI su instead of Tirami SU. The server gave me the weirdest look. It turned out to be kind of a soggy pudding so I haven’t tried it again. Lesson learned.

Do you have any recommendations for framing posters inexpensively? I am planning to put up some artwork but don’t want to spend $20 on a poster and $200 on a matte and frame.
