A beautifully written piece by Milton Glaser on life, wisdom, creativity. It’s a powerful and challenging collection of ideas to which I often return in search of inspiration. You can find the 2-pages PDF here, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I added below 2 of my favourite paragraphs from his speech:

“I discovered that all the work I had done that was meaningful and significant came out of an affectionate relationship with a client (…) I am talking about a client and you sharing some common ground. That in fact your view of life is someway congruent with the client, otherwise it is a bitter and hopeless struggle” (lesson You can only work for people you like)

“(…) What is required in our field, more than anything else, is the continuous transgression. Professionalism does not allow for that because has to encompass the possibility of failure and if you are professional your instinct is not to fail, it is to repeat success. So professionalism as a lifetime aspiration is a limited goal.” (lesson Professionalism is not enough)

If you liked this post, you can also read the following:

• fear = engine of self-improvement
• this is an adventure
• that’s not reality
• resisting change
• tomorrow would be better..
