Look, everyone has bad days, everyone has their own struggles, and there are moments when everyone thinks of giving up. But also, everyone deserves a nudge in the right direction, some advice and wisdom, and some encouragement. There’s no shame in getting inspired by others, and we need some motivation to draw from time to time.
The illustrations of Success Pictures, the Instagram account with over 800k followers, are just about that. Its motivational pictures with deep meaning focus on positive affirmation and inspire people to keep pushing through and achieve hard-earned and well-deserved success. Some of them give useful advice or even wisdom; others just remind us about the realities of life. Whatever it is, the key message is simple—never give up and persevere!
However, not all of these success quotes are about positive thinking. Some of them provide a critique of our society and its ills and remind us about what’s really important (spoiler: it’s not the likes or the money).
The author reminds people to be compassionate and generous towards others, as you may never know what they’re going through or that you won't end up in their place. Here and there, you can find some profound ideas hidden behind simply illustrated imagery.

Because too many on here crave the attention. If they can't get attention and upvotes for being kind or generous, they won't do it. Kind of like most Christians. "Look, Jesus! I'm giving a coat to this cold child!" Just f*****g do it without expecting the f*****g ticker-tape parade. And this is not a generational thing- Yeah, Millenials do it, but so do Boomers and members of every other generation.

All in all, there’s much to like about these motivational pictures for success, and there are lots of great ideas to get inspired by. Whatever it is, let’s hope it’ll help you get through a rough day or achieve your own goals.
It may not be as easy as it may seem, and life is definitely more nuanced than the illustrations might portray, but they still provide an insight that someone may desperately need. In other words, they may not be the end goal, but they won't steer you away from the right path.

I'm looking mostly at you, Trumptards and GOP, but the DNC is guilty as well. THINK FOR YOURSELVES! The "other party" brings value to the country as well but you're too focused on "they want to steal your guns" or "they don't care about the poor" bullshit to see NEITHER party really gives a s**t about you. Instead of parroting the hate from your party, just shut up and listen to each other. I promise you, you'll see you really have the same goals in mind but just have a different path to get there. You aren't going to get there if you keep trying to jerk the steering wheel to your side instead of sharing the steering wheel and coordinating the movements. This requires communication that NEITHER party wants you to do.

Some people wear their struggles as a badge of honor and feel it is necessary to constantly remind you of their suffering. They don't want your help; they want your pity. The best thing you can do for them is ignore their constant whining for attention and be brutally honest with them. They;ll either snap out of their "I'm a victim" paradigm and accept your help or they will see you're not going to give them the attention they crave and go away. Either way- win-win for you.

Carrie Laughs 4 years ago
Not sure you do. Singing and playing is not a sign that they love their situation. Birds will stay in cages because they are so used to their environment they become conditioned. For instance, it is a common problem with long term prisoners let out - they don't cope well with their freedom because it scares them. They are conditioned to being locked up even though they get an hour's exercise in a yard. I'm not against the keeping of birds - these are domesticated and that's not going to change. Though anyone truly wanting to provide the best circumstances for a bird would give them an aviary or similar sized space so that it is their choice to fly at any point they wish. A bird choosing to stay in an open cage is not choosing because of love of the cage, they are 'choosing' due to conditioning.

He brushed it off as nothing. 2 days later, I see a giant bulge on his side. I insisted he go to hospital and after an argument, he went. 4 broken ribs later, he still isn't complaining. At the same time, my mom and daughter were playing. My daughter "tickled" my mom by wiggling her fingers on her belly. Hours later I get a call from my mother that her "stomach is still burning" from where my daughter tickled her.

Why is 'Good habits' portrayed by an alarm clock ? Maybe being tied in to a society that expects stupid hours to be worked to equal success hmmm .... ? Stupid idea, stupid premise and ultimately, stupid outcome in terms of health, happiness and contentment. Besides which, the bloody thing is set to 9 'o' clock !! Even I at my great age and vast working life in an industry that demanded bonkers hours find this silly. If, during my working life I'd have been at work after 9am, I would have had to go through until 2am in the morning just to catch up on what I should have been doing the day before .....

Not always. One of my clients wanted to develop their own instrument for some measurements in a test bench. They had more difficulties than they initially thought, but didn't give up. They so much didn't give up that it eventually took them 4 years and 1.5 million euros to develop it, when the alternative that was proposed from the start was an off the shelf 60 000 euros instrument (tested and guaranteed, with IVI support). Now, I'm tasked to integrate it in their test bench, and it doesn't work very well. Sometimes, it's better to give up, so you can rethink your objectives.

@David Retsler- sex and gender are different. Sex refers to chromosomes, gender is a social construct. Sex can also change, Sex change may occur naturally, as in the case of the sequential hermaphroditism observed in some species. Hormone injections cause a different set of genes on the DNA to be turned on so that you get, for example, a male pattern of gene expression can be XX. Intersex people can have both male and female sexual characteristics and organs; at birth an unambiguous assignment of male or female cannot be made. Gender is a social construct, therefore gender is not limited to male and female.

It helps to remind me that you know where to comment, because you see what's wrong, but it benefits you. Like here, you obviously see yourself as being shunned by the opposite sex, but with the comments you make it would be a mistake for anyone to open their door. So you aren't being oppressed.

There is an old Cherokee legend that sums this up perfectly: An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

And for the OTHER guy who obviously has zero ( bodily at least ) disabilities , he believes he NEEDED to be given help while obviously there seems to be no excuses ( unless there ARE reason/s ) to be in that situation in the first place AND to not able to help himself. That's just pure laziness. Which is actually the most insidious and something that I myself am still battling to this day. Hope my explanation helps.

Condescending platitudes that take none of life's nuance or mental health into account. This was the equivalent of telling people if they're poor it is their own fault and they deserve it. Nothing in life is this simple. Should you work hard? Absolutely. Does that mean you'll get anywhere? Not really. As for the work smarter platitudes, good luck finding a job or company with that mindset. They want pre-cut cogs that do exactly as asked, in the manner, they're told. I made it to the second half of my life before I stumbled into a company and job where I have reign to improve things. I get this mind set, but it just comes across as condescening mind junkfood. Might as well have a wall hanging that says 'live, laugh love'.

Most of these aren't saying what they claim their overall message is. Most of them are saying negative things and some of them are definitely not their ideas, but copied from already existing pictures.

Most of these are copied even, not just some. This doesn’t deserve to be posted here.

I don't know man. The boss asked for a cube and you're going to show up with a sphere? Good luck with that.

#37 is a straight-up plagiarism from French surrealist Guy Billout... there's even a Guy Billout Bored Panda thread that INCLUDES the very image this cartoonist has copied without giving credit!

Nearly every one of these is focused on the success of a man. Unless it's a woman whose 'success" is a man's approval.
