ACTION   "Nothing happens until someone makes it happen"  

Life is only what you make of it. This is a good motivational gift.

A stainless steel ball sits on one end of the base. On the other end is a solid alloy figurine sitting on a metal prod.

The solid wood base in dark mahogany is covered by a reflective stainless steel sheet.  You could add a plaque which would be placed on the opposite side...OR...plaque you order could be placed on TOP of the Make it Happen inscription.  Tell us preferred location in TALK TO US. OR...tell us to NOT attach plaque and you can decide when you receive it location you prefer for plaque.

Coming together is a beginning...Keeping together is a progress...Working together is a process." 

This quote is imprinted on the base. A statement that is quite significant. This is a magnificent portrayal of togetherness and team work. Three figures hold the stainless steel ball above their heads. It takes teamwork.

Together We Can.

Only those who see the invisible can do the impossible.

These are great inspirational words to lead to success. This visually thought-provoking item is called Thinking out of the Box. The individual with a million questions sits alone and is left to ponder. As the ball drops, the person rises above the box. The silvery metal figurine sits on top of a bar which is also attached to a ball on the opposite end. Mimicking that of a seesaw, as the ball is lowered the figurine is elevated.

Teamwork Rowers: 

Teamwork is the ability to work together for a common goal.  It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon goals. 

The four rowers are made of silver (nickel) alloy. Quite elegant. Rowing together is a great symbol of teamwork.

Any crew is aware of how important each individual rower is to the whole. Have you read the book "The Boys in the Boat"? A 2014 book written about the University of Washington crew during Hitler's reign. They won the Olympic Gold Metal. Fascinating book about what it's like to crew and be a member of a boat. Definitely teamwork.

The base is black crystal. The text you see in the image is already on the base and is white in color. Very high quality. However, you can still personalize teamwork with a plaque.

Teamwork is available in  2 sizes. This size is 6 inches long. Larger size is 12 inches.

There is a very personal reason we post this item. Perhaps, it resonates with you too. Recently, I went to a Holocaust Museum.  

My guide stated: In 1930 Lithuania, about 10% of its population were Jews...about 200,000 people. 180,000 of them were killed. Of the 180,000 killed, what people don't realize was that about 140,000 were killed in their own town...typically by gun shot. Only 40,000 died outside of town at concentration camps, etc. It was pointed out that a rifle shot can be heard 3 miles away. Every time a Jew was shot and killed, so more than 140,000 times, people in Lithuania heard the sound....but they did nothing...the population of "locals" was much larger than the number of "Nazi's"....yet, the locals did nothing to stop the killing....and in just one country there were 180,000 Jews killed.

Hopefully, we can learn from this experience. However, the news today questions that is happening. If there is an issue you, or your organization, feel strongly about - could be a social issue, a local issue, whatever revs your engine, you can purchase this. 

The words: Choose to MAKE A DIFFERENCE will be on the top two lines. You can add your organization name, a person's name, a date, whatever. You have a choice of 3 base colors: copper, silver or gold (as shown in the photo)  It will arrive in a blue presentation box. This item looks good and is especially meaningful. Since we will be personalizing EVERY one of these, there is NO cost for customization - EXCEPT for a logo. There is a $20 cost to add a logo.

How can you make a difference in the world today? Because:

You CAN make a difference.

"Think Outside The Box" is a bronzed sculpture using the theme of Thinking outside the Box.

A person is sitting on the back of a chair with its feet on the seat of the chair deep in thought. The chair appears to have a spring under it. It looks as if this item is also inspired by a jack-in-the-box. The lid to the box is in the back of the image. On the side of the box are the words "Think Outside the Box."

A serious, yet, whimsical decor for a stockbroker's office.

"Be great in act, as you have been in thought." William Shakespeare (1564 -1616)

The top of the sculpture has a solid nickel alloy figurine placing stepping blocks over a series of crystal ledges. The figurine is following through with his plan to cross the chasm. The scene very much conveys activity and application of ideas. The solid crystal ledges are attached to a solid rich mahogany colored wood base and attached with a reflective metal sheet on the top of the base.

Determination Uphill: The best way to predict the future is to create it

Determination is an important part of everyday life. It is a quality that gets people where they want to be, and it keeps society moving forward and learning more every day.

The silver figure in this statue shows determination by pushing the huge, silver ball up the hill. The quote is printed on the wooden base.

Going for IT! Determination!. The road to success is seldom straight (as depicted here.) Many times it may feel as if you need to push a ball uphill. Doesn't this item illustrate the difficult road that you may need to follow?  

In the middle of the "mountain" you see a silver figurine pushing a golden steel ball up hill. The clear crystal wall is set into a ceramic & granite base. The area on the base for a plaque is 6" x 1".

To be a WINNER, all you need to give is all you have.

Life isn't always about the result, sometimes it is the effort that matters most. Stay positive.

The crystal tablet has marks on it to show the figurine is in motion. The figurine is made of solid alloy and plated in shiny nickel. It depicts a baseball player. You see the baseball bat and the baseball helmet. Batter has just made a full swing - giving it his all.
