You've seen those motivational posters in your office with titles like Teamwork, Determination, Excellence, and so on. They usually portray wildlife, sports, or military themes. Well, this is my own twist on the genre. Instead of the usual motivational titles, I've used the Seven Deadly Sins (Sloth, Pride, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, and Greed).

For those of you brave enough to hang these in your office, I recommend a black 8.5x11 document frame to complete the effect. Note that these can only be printed on a color printer. I've tried printing them in black-and-white and the text does not show up.


Don't want to hang them on the wall? Perhaps you might want to download the Four Deadly Motivational Bitmaps Pack (654k). These 800x600 bitmaps of Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, and Wrath each look lovely as a Windows background, and are sure to make your screen the center of attention at home or work.

If you don't have the Adobe Acrobat Reader then you'll need to download it in order to view and print these files.

Sloth

Text: Relax. Just sit there. This would be a good time for a nap, don’t you think? Put your feet up on the desk. Whatever you were working on can wait until tomorrow. This is your time. Time to sleep.Time to dream. Dream you’re in another place. Maybe on the beach. Anyplace but this office.

Pride

Text: It’s not easy being the smartest person in this office. You’re brilliant, funny, and darned attractive, too. You have a lot to be proud of. Do what anybody in your shoes would do. Go rub everybody’s noses in it.

Wrath

Text: Sometimes it takes someone who is angry to set things right. You could be polite and tactful, but where would that really get you? They’ll just screw things up again. Now is the time to pound your fist on the desk and tell the boss how things should work around here. Yell a bit. You’ll feel better.

Lust

Text: Now is the time. You’ve been wanting to ask out that person two cubicles over. Don’t wimp out now. Go over there and say, “I want to make sweet love to you, baby!” Who cares if everyone is watching?

Gluttony

Text: What’s for lunch? Maybe the cafeteria will have pie today. Are you wondering if there’s anything new in the candy machine? You should check. You could use some chocolate right now, couldn’t you? And something salty. Maybe some chips. That would be nice. What’s for dinner?

Envy

Text: Look at that car. Don’t you wish you had wheels like that? It must be nice to be rich. They probably have a big house, great hair, and perfect teeth, too. Doesn’t that just burn you up? Go ahead, give them a key job.

Greed

Text: Look at that house. Pretty nice, eh? You’d like to own something like that, wouldn’t you? Don’t forget the reason you’re working here. Money. It’s not about doing a good job or showing up on time. Those are things you do to keep making money. Cash. Moolah. That’s why you’re here.
