Will Power - The Shirt

I have a great t-shirt.  I love it.  It's just so multi-appropriate for me!

As I said yesterday, it's the name of a Fantasy Football team I run.

And, yes, I am a fan of Will, the Bard, who wrote all the plays represented on the shirt.  (What?  You hadn't looked that closely yet?  Well, click the photo for a closer look.)

In my work life, I happen to work on IBM Power Systems, so there's that.

I am also a firm believer that "will power" is a key attribute for building a life that is satisfying.  It can be taken too far, but in my opinion, the more common frustrations in life are related to knowing what we ought to do, but not having the will power to do them.



And then, of course, I am a Will.  I love having the illusion of power. Having my surname in such a great phrase is a kick!

Hey, I know this is a real long shot, but my best friend really wants this tshirt and I've been searching everywhere and can't find it :( Can you remember where you got it from? It'd be so great if you did :)

Hannah, I bought this shirt in Stratford-upon-Avon in England, actually. At a store that sold Shakespeare memorabilia. I hope that helps.

Thanks for replying, Steve, much appreciated :)
I'd suspected it might have been from the Royal Shakespeare Company shop, but unfortunately they don't sell that shirt anymore! Oh well, I'll just have to keep exploring.
Thanks again for helping me out, though. Have a nice day :)
