I love my work. I hate my work.

 

This has to be one of the most interesting topics on how we love and hate designing at the same time. There are aspects of any profession that one will not like. Because you to really have to embrace all aspects. If you are in a profession and you think it will always be fun then you might as well just stop working altogether.

When you learn to love all the parts it will be much easier to move through the day to day. If you hate certain parts more then others the day would be completely draining and boring. So learn to love what you do in all aspects. I’ll end it with this just think of a boxer they have to train,eat healthy and do many other things just to get to a fight and be prepared. Think of the small things as you working up to something greater.

 

Don’t Get too Comfortable

I really enjoyed this ted talk. Because he talked about not getting comfortable. In the sense of him sleeping on the floor beside his bed. Because if you always do the same thing you will continue to get the same results. In other words you will feel Ok my current situation is good so therefore I do not need to strive for more.

If you are currently  a web designer or a graphic designer and you’ve gotten comfortable try new things for your career. Maybe you could take up illustration to combine with your current skills. Never stop striving for more and to become more. But the main thing to ask yourself is if you want to become more and have more.
