It may not be for you, but there is nothing pretentious about it. There are many ways to motivate yourself. Having physical reminders to keep important stuff at the top of your mind is just one way of doing it. It works for some.. it may even work for everyone if people weren't negative about this stuff.
A good example I like is Bruce Lee's letter to himself on his chief definite aim: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2011/03/my-definite-chief-aim.h.... Some may find this stupid, pretentious, or cheesy, but I bet it was useful for Bruce Lee and that is what matters.
I just got one because (1) I find myself coming back to this saying a lot, (2) I like this motivational type of stuff (I actually want all of little posters up in FB), and (3) donating to Watsi is a good thing to do.
