Ambition Explorers Mugs

"How can I be expected to reach my 'full potential' when I can't even reach the cookie jar?"

"It's time to give up the cheese dream, Bryan. My parents bought us a hole in the wall in Jersey full of bird seed and breadcrumbs."

Dressed for Success!

"This could be the year someone actually goes up there."

"Be careful what you wish for, Bob, because you just might get it. And if it happens to be what I was wishing for, things could get pretty ugly around here."

And here's the office floor plan. The numbers indicate the recommended sequence in which to step on people on your way to the top.

The Salesman

'That's the first cubicle I ever worked in.'

Not thinking BIG enough: Nickel & Dime Bank.

"How can you have a meteoric rise to the top in a one-story building?"

'It could have been worse...she might have chosen banking.'

"So...do you have a job now?"

If a moo can rise to the top, so can I.

'What can you wish for?!... Oh, I don't know... Infinite wealth, beautiful women throwing themselves at your feet, fame and admiration, perhaps?... But, don't let me influence you.'

"My daughter tells me you want to become a doctor."

"I've finally arrived. The C.E.O. stopped saying 'who the hell are you' whenever he sees me."

"Obviously, I can't fly like you, but if you teach me, I can probably sing like you..."

"It's not enough being a cat anymore. I want to be a fat cat."

"You used to be that ambitious."

Wall Street has a one way arrow upwards.

"He's a psychopath with megalomanic tendencies...I like that in a candidate!"

"You'll find I'm highly motivated and ambitious...oh, is this your desk?"

"Keep up the good work and there'll probably be a nice promotion in it for me."

"It's not that I'm lazy. But I envisage myself not so much climbing the corporate ladder, as taking the corporate elevator."

I'm willing to start at the bottom and work my way up to your job..

Teen's Comet

"It's a long term goal."

"I'm running away to join the W.N.B.A."

"Look at her...Gracie is intelligent, optimistic, ambitious..I wish she was one more thing."

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I... I... I..."

'In five year's time?... I see myself on that side of the desk telling you it's a great shame, thanks for all your hard work, but I'm going to have to let you go!'

What is possible/what is probable.

"I worked my way up from a goddamn steamboat - I am the American Dream."

"I started out on a molehill - What about you?"

'Shouldn't you be somewhere clawing yourself to the top, or something?'
