Beauty - If you're attractive enough on the outside, people will forgive you for being irritating to the core.
I imagine Nanami has this on her wall.

Destiny - You were meant for me. Perhaps as a punishment.
That's creepily Anthy.

Goals - It's best to avoid standing directly between a competitive jerk and his goals.
I didn't know Saionji was a blonde in his early years.

Worth - Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important
Kanae.

Flattery If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom. (Just so Touga)

How could I not have seen that! O.O perefect fit.

Just to throw myself in. Yep, bitterness is me as well.

This thread has inspired me to create my own Demotivator.



I hope you understand the symbolism I used here, in this case a goldfish that died from never been fed.

Why is it so many that go with Juri I apply to myself. Darn my egoism. Great poster Tamago! *totally pretensious* it speaks to me.......

Delusions
There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.
That's the whole show right there I think. X_x

*nods sagely*

Underachievement
The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower.
I think the Student Council needs to remember this one.

Agreed

I remember my friend telling me that at her work place, they put motivational posters up and she was telling me a few phrases, I thought that was cute, and resolved myself to get her this:

Motivation-If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

Oh yes, more Utena ones:

Mistakes-It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

Mikage....poor poor Mikage.

Sacrifice-Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you.

Anthy???

I think this can also be Utena. After all, she's the one who took the swords in place of Anthy, and she's the one who technically pulled Anthy out of the academy.

That's pessimistic in one way and hilarious in other way. Why does it remind me of Akio's shocked face in the last episode? Well, and a bit about Mikage

And Touga...

And to an extent, Ruka.

Strife -- As long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems.

Oh, ouch. This one reminds me of the relationship between Miki and Kozue.

Of course, it also works very well for Juri and Shiori.

For some strange reason, I automatically thought of Utena and Anthy when I heard that one. Dunno why......

Me too. They do have their issues.

C'mon it even has a rose. It's just anyone's guess whether we're talking about Akio or Anthy here.

While good fortune often eludes you, this kind never misses.

Akio
Achievement
You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.

Oh wow, I didn't even notice the rose.

Anhty:

Doubt
In the battle between you and the world, bet on the world.

Dysfunction
The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.

Keiko

Intimidation
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent, but you'd be a fool to withhold that from your superiors.

Akio

Planning
Much work remains to be done before we can announce our total failure to make any progress.

Juri

Loneliness
If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.

Mikage

Retirement
Because you've given so much of yourself to the Company that you don't have anything left we can use.

I really wanna find a Ruka one.

Just because I was in a thread revival mood, and the other day my friend came round and in trying to dump her pet turtles on me, I subtly indicated Tamago's goldfish demotivator (which I have already saved) dropping it into the conversation in reference to myself. Suffice to say I think she got the message.

Because I /think/ there's some new ones, anyway heres what the seitokai should have thought of when they got their letter: Propaganda

Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe a little OT, but have you read the target audience despair.com suggests?

- The Chinese
- And Russians
- And Iranians
- Really, it's perfect for everybody but Americans. Because we don't do that here.
