It was a devastating day for John Richardson, 46, of Lake Forest, California to find out that after three years of working with a life coach, Richardson found out--to his surprise--that his trainer's inspiring go-getter attitude was merely a compilation of cliched phrases found on beer coasters and napkin blurbs from the bar. At first, the beer tips overlapped well into the general phrases of inspiration such as "Good things come to those who wait", "If not now, when?" and "Perfection has it's price."
But after hearing much of the same adages over the years, Richardson grew more skeptical when he started hear newer and sloppier lines of inspiration: "Do you see the glass half-empty or half-full?","Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder", "What if the Hokey Pokey Really IS what it is all about?" When the trainer came back with even more banal phrases, which one could never consider inspiring, such as, "Tap That Ass", "You're damned if you do. You're damned if you don't", he was ultimately fired for: "If she's not falling out of her bar stool wasted, she's not ready to take home quite yet."
