50 Illustrations By “Success Pictures” That Might Motivate You
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.

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.

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.

This is true. There's time when I tell myself "I can't do it" or "I wish I could do it like them" but when I actually try to do it, things change, and my mindset changes as well and I change those phrases to "I can do it" or "I know I can do it like them." Don't give up. Keep going and show yourself that you can do it. Don't do it for others, do it for youself.

I'm happy I'm the unsuccessful man and you can call me a loser, just not before 10Am. I hate conversations when I haven't had my breakfast.

If you work till you nearly die, you might get to the same point as the guy who couldn't even be bothered to take his hands out of his pockets.

To be fair, none of them enjoy the view outside. Not the guy enjoying the attention he gets for reading a book, not the idiots taking pictures of him.

Don't build a ladder while you are climbing it. That is a fool's approach!

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.
