Motivational Posters, Worldwide Choices.
The word motivation can be in either positive or negative directions, towards something you desire or away from something you dislike or fear. It can also be either external or internal or move between those two types.
For example, a motivational poster you see somewhere starts out as an external motivation because it is outside you. Then if it resonates with one of your internal motivations it can strengthen and enhance it. This in turn might inspire you to motivate others maybe by buying them a motivational poster so your internal motivation becomes an external motivation for them which in turn they might internalize and so on.
It is interesting to see which different images different countries like most for this function. One of the most popular images worldwide is the iceberg showing only the tip above the surface of the water and most of it hidden underneath, with the caption "hidden depths".
The current first choice in America is "it's all about character" with the image of guys competing in basketball on a misty day. It talks about how you chose your character and thus your destiny from your thoughts, which in turn become words, actions, habits and so on. Other top choices in the USA include the "hidden depths", as well as "Do all the good you can" (with a picture of a glowing green earth held in human hands), and "imagination" with the bare branches of a tree reaching up to a starry sky.
UK top picks include the "hidden depths" described above, as well as "Perseverance", "imagination", "challenge" and "achievement". Choices from France also show an Olympic photo. Some of the much less commonly chosen posters are still beautiful and inspiring, including "abandon" which has the image of fall leaves floating down into a creek, the sun rising behind the spread branches of a great tree ("opportunity"), and a tree hugged by a small child with the caption "conservation".
Which are you going to choose? Motivational posters can be a big help in the life of many people . . . get yours now!
