The "Motivate Me" Contest |
|
Stolen from another forum:
Quote: | Hallo und willkommen to the Motivate Me Contest. The Rules are simple, whosoever creates the most inspirational, funny or motivating poster wins the contest. What will you win? Well thats still in committee, but it will be something good.
To create your posters you can use the Motivator: Create your own motivational poster or any other similar site.
To post your pictures upload it to one of the file sharing sites; such as Photobucket or Imageshack. And then, go crazy.
All forum rules still apply: No obscene pictures or language. This is your initial warning. Those who break this rule will be red carded.
And remember good luck, have fun. |
I suggest you use this motivational poster generator. And remember, you can't directly link images from that site, you have to save the picture and use another image hosting site!
This contest will end November 1st! I will be judging them personally, however if there is anyone who I like (yes I'm biased =D) that wishes to judge this then feel free to drop me a PM.
There is no limit to how many posters you wish to create.
Here's an example:
Let the games begin!

Its funny how people see motivation or inspiration in a variety of different things. Things that are weird, goofy, or just out of this world mysterious to some, is totally reviving to others. What might seem funny to one guy, when a homeless person asks for money on the streets, to the other guy, he sees a person doing what he can to rise out from the ashes. Maybe inspiration comes not only from just images alone but this is what I've been looking at and thinking about at the moment.

http://www.bruceleedivinewind.com/gungfu.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee
Philosophy
Although Bruce Lee is best known as a martial artist and actor, Lee majored in philosophy at the University of Washington. Lee's books on martial arts and fighting philosophy are well-known for their philosophical assertions both inside and outside of martial arts circles. His philosophy often mirrored his fighting beliefs, though he was quick to claim that his martial arts were solely a metaphor for such teachings. His influences include Taoism and Buddhism.
The following are some of Bruce Lee's ideas that reflect his fighting philosophy.
* "To tell the truth....I could beat anyone in the world."
* "If I tell you I'm good, you would probably think I'm boasting. If I tell you I'm no good, you know I'm lying."
* "Fighting is not something sought after, yet it is something that seeks you."
* "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, and it can crash. Be like water, my friend..."[58]
* "Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it."[59]
* "The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect."
* "Mere technical knowledge is only the beginning of Gung Fu. To master it, one must enter into the spirit of it."
* "There are lots of guys around the world that are lazy. They have big fat guts. They talk about chi power and things they can do, but don't believe it."
* "I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket."
* "Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there."[60]
* "Jeet Kune Do: it's just a name; don't fuss over it. There's no such thing as a style if you understand the roots of combat."
* "Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result."
* "I think the high state of martial art, in application, must have no absolute form. And, to tackle pattern A with pattern B may not be absolutely correct."
* "True observation begins when one is devoid of set patterns."
* "The other weakness is, when clans are formed, the people of a clan will hold their kind of martial art as the only truth and do not dare to reform or improve it. Thus they are confined in their own tiny little world. Their students become machines which imitate martial art forms."
* "Some people are tall; some are short. Some are stout; some are slim. There are various different kinds of people. If all of them learn the same martial art form, then who does it fit?"
* "Ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself. It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky so I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly enough; that, my friend, is very hard to do."

That was a nice post Bloody Mess.
Guys, I would much rather prefer it if you guys made originals. I don't want to see recycled images circling around

That family man picture is hilarious.
For those of you who have quit playing D2, here's some of the joy that you're missing. If you can't see the inspiration in this quote, then you're clearly blind. (I was afk at the time).
FYI: You should be able to link pictures directly from that site. Just right-click on the picture and copy the hyperlink.

I guess my last submissions weren't really "motivation" themed, so here are two more:

Yeah saving a copy is way too much effort. I'd much rather let it sit for a week and eventually disappear.
