Aspiration Advocate Mugs

"Cody, we're ready to settle the case f Bucket List v. Boomerang."

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.

Not thinking BIG enough: Nickel & Dime Bank.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wall Street has a one way arrow upwards.

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

"It's a long term goal."

'Oh no...I'm living the dream.'

'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.

'So far, the only dreams I've achieved have been nightmares.'

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

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

Desk at the Horizon

The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Lawyer - "Father Desmond, we need an exorcism."

"Shape up, son! You want to be a dung beetle the rest of your life?"

'You'll have to decide - do you want to be top management in a small pond, or bottom management in a big pond?'

". . . and they lived happily ever after. . . in an aspirational sort of way."

"There's no denying that you are ambitious but we are looking for someone with more dress sense."

'I realize money can't buy happiness, so I'm just trying to improve the exchange rate.'

'First item on the agenda...Throw out the agenda!!'

'If you can control your emotions I will make you a branch manager. Yippee.'

'I thought I'd put in the details later.'

"I started out fetching."

'Herman threatens to shut down the network if you don't give him your job.'

Businessmen's Dreams

'When I reach the top, Henderson, I won't forget all the little people I climbed over to get there.'

Low hanging fruit

Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.

"Ambitions... to make it to the other side."
