New year, new you? That’s what everyone says but few of us
ever have the gumption to stick to our plans – higher, faster, stronger and all
that – as often the motivation that the number 1 appearing on a calendar gives
us dissipates as other numbers such as 4 and 12 and 26 start appearing.
However, one man who may be able to give us the resolve we need to
stick to our motivational guns is Bill Jones, a fascinating character from the
1920s dreamed up by some advertising wonks to inspire the business folk of
Britain – and later the US and Canada – to strive for greatness.
These are two of my favourites below and there’s a whole raft more on the Retronaut website. I came across this via someone on Twitter
but I’ve forgotten who it was now. Sorry mysterious Twitter person – please reveal yourself if
it was you and I’ll credit accordingly.
