For the young & artsy

Ten Lessons for Young Designers
  1. Be authentic. The most powerful asset you have is your individuality, what makes you unique. It's time to stop listening to others on what you should do.
  2. Work harder than anyone else & you will always benefit from the effort.
  3. Get off the computer & connect with real people & culture. Life is visceral.
  4. Constantly improve your craft. Make things with your hands. Innovation in thinking is not enough.
  5. Travel as much as you can. It is a humbling & inspiring experience to learn just how much you don't know.
  6. Being original is still king, especially in this tech-driven, group-grope world.
  7. Try not to work for stupid people or you'll soon become one of them.
  8. Instinct & intuition are all-powerful. Learn to trust them.
  9. The Golden Rule actually works. Do good.
  10. If all else fails, No. 2 is the greatest competitive advantage of any career.
