Throughout life, chances are you've heard hundreds of inspirational quotes. Some, I'm sure, brought tears to your eyes while others made you gag. Some projected out of the mouths of leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi and Martin Luther King, while others were spoken to you by friends and family when you needed a pick me up. I'm a fan of all of these inspirational quotes. Why? Because they inspire us to think about the blessings we have and the opportunities that await. And believe me, a little positivity goes a long way.

So with that in mind, what's something you're thankful for in your life? I am thankful for product descriptions.
As a right of passage for promotional products on our site, each merits an informative and fun product description. When I first interned for Motivators in the summer of 08, product descriptions were a very close friend of mine. While still great buddies, there is other work to tend to and I don't spend nearly the amount of time with them everyday as I'd like. Still, at the end of the day, you'll find me typing away descriptions of products we're looking to imprint for customers. After almost a year of writing them, I've caught on to some words and phrases that are frequently used. One of which could've won me $30,000.

On Tuesday night, I sat on the comfiest of couches and zeroed in on the television screen. It was the bonus round of Wheel of Fortune where the winner of the game gets a chance to guess 5 letters and solve a puzzle in a short amount of time. The woman standing in front of the puzzle had won herself a good chuck of cash but stared at this puzzle with little to say. A couple of letters had popped up, but no answer was clear.
That's when I saw it. "COMPANY LOGO!" I shouted. A few seconds later, the time ran out, the woman frowned and the final letters were revealed. It was in fact, "company logo," one of the phrases I use often in my descriptions. Pat Sajak then went on to open the prize; $30,000 that could've been mine all because of product descriptions.
