Google Glass 2.0: What If We Had Glass?

I’ll admit at first I didn’t really think of google glass as something that would be great for society and I’m slowly changing my views. The capabilities of what it can do are amazing. I for one would love to try out a pair for a week and see how they hold up and if they actually improve and help with my day to day life. Sadly I missed the opportunity to apply for them.

What do you think about google glass do you think it’ll do more harm then good or vice versa?

Luck Is A Made Up Word

Many people have this belief of a thing of you are were you are because you were lucky and whatever other stories/excuses they try to make up. To me I believe that luck does not exist you can be able to make your own path. Which you can call it luck if you want there is not wrong with that.

But working harder then your lazy friends will allow you to get to where you want to. Times can get so hard that you just feel like giving up on everything. You may feel that your in a crappy job and there’s no escaping it. But whether you believe it or not there is always a way to get out. The main thing is do you want to and do you believe you can.

Because lets face it people are lazier then ever they are impatient, play the lottery to win big money when if they put the money spend from lottery tickets they would be well on their way. Don’t get me wrong I did not always used to be this way of thinking about luck being a made up word and or excuse.

It is just that the harder I’m working on myself and my design skills I am seeing the benefits of it. You can do the same if you want to that is. Remember this

How to deal with someone ignoring your linkedin request

I’m not sure if you are on linkedin or not but I strongly recommend creating an account. Alright lets go ahead with how to deal with someone ignoring your linkedin request.

We know that you and me both probably send request to people we never met and etc. Sometimes they will accept and other times they will not. If they accept you feel proud or happy they did not ignore your request.

If they do ignore your request here’s some tips on how to deal with it

  1. If you are not comfortable sending the person a request do not
  2. If you would not pick up the phone and give the person a call do not send them a request
  3. Remember linkedin is not facebook
  4. Will the connection actually help you?
  5. What do you have to offer your connection

There’s a lot more you can learn by actually participating on linkedin and being seen. I hope these tips help you and if you have an account

You should design often

When starting out being a designer we are not told of the importance of designing often. But you may or may not have been told that you need to do it often. Many times it is easy to see in someones work quality. The same thing can be said in just about any profession.

After listening to the audiobook from Robert Greene called Mastery, I learned a lot about the discipline and dedication many people have to become masters of their craft.  One of the many amazing examples was Leonard da vinci. I was blown away when they said that Leonardo never went to art school or was ever taught about art.

I’m not sure if you have heard about the 10,000 hour rule to become a master of your craft. Instead of working for 8 hours not really getting anything done. You could dedicate at least 2 solid hours a day of working. So that means every single day of the week.

If you have something that you want to design start today doing it. You can say I don’t have time or whatever but that is the excuse that many people use. But if you start you’ll be glad you did a year from now.
