10 lessons for young designers - by John C Jay

 

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 and you will always benefit from the effort. 

3:  Get off the computer and connect with real people and 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 and 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 and 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.
