Knowledge is the new money

This could not be more true today then before. The more knowledge you have just think of how much more valuable you are. But as I have said before you can know everything in the world but if your not applying it then its useless.  Because you can procrastinate on that web design project or logo design project. Maybe your just lazy frustrated that you have not progressed in your work quality.

Well going back and reviewing the rules of design does no harm. Knowing the rules and etc will only help make you better. Then you have to realize that being just a graphic designer is not going to cut it. So therefore learn a skill that will help you create a niche for yourself. For me as you all may know I have been learning web design and calligraphy. Which I really just went to school for graphic design.

The reason I chose calligraphy and web design is because one calligraphy is not something you’d expect a graphic designer to be able to do. Also the upsurge of hand lettering coming back. So in the hand lettering niche I chose calligraphy to specify. Web design I chose it because its a skill that is needed now. Although at times learning web design can get frustrating I don’t give up.

Remember this and you’ll be alright

Don’t wish it were easier wish you were better – Jim Rohn

Knowledge is useless unless applied

Many people will end up getting faked out about learning. When I say faked out I mean they will miss the real reason behind it, and the application of using the knowledge. This can apply to anything in our life.

For example if you are learn how to cook but you do not cook you will eventually forget and your skills will deteriorate. The main thing is to apply what you have learned. There is a big difference in those who want to be the best and those who are just interested.

I’ll leave this quote with you from Jim Rohn

“Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge. Let your learning lead to action.”
