The Motiwake alarm clock helps you start your day with upbeat expressions that might do more good on a bumper sticker attached to a Mary Kay-pink Cadillac. But bleating out one of 240 platitudes to you in the cock-a-doodle-dark hours of the morning might be just what you want and need from a $59 alarm clock. If that's the case, get one of these and add a few motivational posters to your walls, then that dumb job you're stuck with might suddenly seem like a miraculous paradise.

Or, you could just get yourself a new job. That might help. Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to. Well, there are exceptions, for example, even if you flap your arms very quickly, you still can't fly from New York to L.A. without the help of an airplane. – Charlie White
