若いデザイナー達への十のレッスン

① 自分に正直でありなさい。君が持っている最大の資産は個性だ。ああしろこうしろという他者の言うことには耳を傾けるな。

② 他の誰よりも仕事に励みなさい。努力は必ず報われる。

③ パソコンから離れ生身の人間、本物の文化に触れなさい。これが人間の本質である。
④ 技に磨きを掛ける事を怠るな。思考の革新のみでは足らない。手先を動かしモノを作りさない。
⑤ 可能な限り旅に出なさい。旅先で自分の無知を再認識するといことはとても謙虚で刺激的な経験である。

⑥ 現代社会はテクノロジー率先で流行に翻弄されやすい。しかし、その中でもやはりオリジナリティは君臨する。

⑦ 自分もそうなりたくないのなら愚かな者の元で働くな。

⑧ 本能。直感。己の力を信用する事を学びなさい。

⑨ 黄金律(「おのれの欲するところを人に施せ」)は真。善意に尽くせ。

⑩ 例え他のすべてが失敗しようとも、②を維持できればそれは君のキャリアの最大のアドバンテージになるであろう。

10 lessons for young designers:

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.
