Looking for a "Motivational Poster" Style unix command?
I am trying to figure out a sort of Motivational line that I could
write as a short unix command... I don't know too much but something like Get everything you want in life
sudo (get everything) (you want?) (life directory)

Any ideas?

Thank You very much
Brad

You mean like the stuff printed on the xkcd stuff (especially this), or ThinkGeek?

Yeah I've seen those I am looking for something more along the lines of the ThinkGeek Shirt "while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );" than the sudo make me a sandwich.

Just looking for other ideas

:q! is always there when I need it. Put it underneath a picture of an avalanche or a girl asking relationship questions or something.

Then there's this classic. And the Jargon File is a good source of computer humor too.
