After School Special: Advice for Emerging Designers
Below is my favorite part from the #5 (the img is just an excerpt). Along the lines of what I feel my ethos used to be, and still is underneath some misguided experiences. It shall return however.
I look at successful people and I see the same patterns. I know a photographer who, when starting his career, worked literally around the clock, and even spent his own money to make shots memorable. He never looked at an assignment as a job, but as an opportunity to do something outstanding. He is still pushing himself today and branching out into new areas. His renowned career is nothing if not enviable.
