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!

But 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 about being 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.

Another problem with the stupid complainer is that he assumes it is the man's decision, "letting his wife"... like he owns her.

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.

These success images aren't the only thing that’s motivational. The triumph of the page is inspiring in and of itself: the illustrations are liked by millions of people, so it’s safe to say they’re very effective in sharing positive thinking. And what’s not to like about them? They’re simple and get the message across easily. Follow Success Pictures Instagram account if you like success pictures with quotes so you’ll never run out of positive thoughts and motivation. Cheers!

I think it's also about them not showing the whole picture or choosing what to show, editing the truth 🤔

Money is something some people don't have. It can corrupt people and we can't just allow let people get their way just because they were more successful at one point in their life.

Taking the picture literally, surely the guy with the scissors would cut his own rope first, then cut the other guy's.

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.

Actually, this is meant as a difference between equity and egality. Careful which you militate for.
