An
in-depth look at demotivational posters - Flattery
 The
Flattery demotivational poster connotes a sense of condescending or stooping
down to something low. "If you want to get to the top, be prepared to kiss
a lot of the bottom". And what better image to use in getting the point
across, than two horses - you pretty much get the picture.
The
desire to rise to the top is innate in all workers. Company employees dream of
becoming managers, as managers dream of becoming company presidents or CEOs. And
the Flattery demotivational poster presents the picture of rising to the top in
the most sarcastic of ways possible. Getting to the top may be nice, sweet and
refreshing but the process may be far from what you might ever have expected.
The
same holds for those who like to get involved in politics. You need to satisfy a
wide range of views from your constituency and in some cases, this means kissing
a lot of bottoms simply to get votes. Bitter as this may sound, the final reward
is often worth it. For without a degree of humility, there can be no ascent, and
we sometimes just need to stoop low, to eventually rise to where we want to be.
The
Flattery demotivational poster presents a message filled with as much sarcasm
and satire as it is with fact. Funny and humorous as it may sound, to get to the
top, there is a lot of bottom kissing which you have to do. So, each time you
rejoice over your achievements or goals, you might just as well want to recall
the bottom kissings you had to do, the humiliation these caused, and the fact
that irrespective of all of these, you finally achieved your goal, which is to
be where you are today.
