In case anyone wants to know why, IIRC that format was popularized online by the Despair Inc demotivational posters of the 2000s.

demotivating poster that reads “mistakes: maybe the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others”

Which themselves satirized the banal and pompous business inspo decor of the dotcom six sigma era that was ubiquitous on the walls of fart whiffer conference rooms, executive offices, and the like.

motivational framed picture placed that reads “IMAGINATION: What we can easily see is only a small percentage of what is possible.Imagination is having the vision to see what is just below the surface; to picture that which is essential, but invisible to the eye.”

Oh man I thought six sigma was a funny thing that 30 rock came up with, but it's actually real?

It's really, and is still very much a thing.

And they really do have a "belt" system. Because of some bullshit ai had to do at an old job, I'm a Six Sigma Yellow Belt. I've never had my time wasted more.
