"JUST DO IT" - John Jay 十條

以下內容, 全是抄自"老占的博客":


下面十條內容的標題原本是《10 Lessons for Young Designers》，是John Jay 給年青設計師們的十條經驗教訓，不過對所有正常非腦殘的年青人都有幫助，和設計師職業並無太大關係：

1.    做真實的自己，獨特的個性才是自己最強大的資本，不要聽從別人安排你該做什麼。      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.    要比別人更努力，最終總會有收穫。

Work harder than anyone else and you will always benefit from the effort.

 

3.    離開電腦世界，走進生活中去接觸真實的人和物，體味人生。

Get off the computer and connect with real people and culture. Life is visceral.

 

4.    不斷提升自己的技能，要親自動手去做，光靠上腦是遠遠不夠的。

     Constantly improve your craft. Make things with your hands. Innovation in thinking is not enough. 

5.   盡可能多的去外面走走，你才會發現自己還有太多需要學習的東西。

      Travel as much as you can. It is a humbling and inspiring experience to learn just how   

      much you don’t know. 

6.   原創仍是王道，尤其是在這個以科技為第一生產力的時代。

      Being original is still king, especially in this tech-driven, group-grope world.

7.   儘量不要為傻逼的人工作，否則你遲早也會變得和他們一樣。

      Try not to work for stupid people or you’ll soon become one of them.

8.   本能和直覺都很重要，學會信任它們。

       Instinct and intuition are all-powerful. Learn to trust them.

9.   這條黃金法則依然適用——做好事。

      The Golden Rule actually works. Do good.

10. 如果都不行不通，第2條仍是任何職業生涯中最重要的。
      If all else fails, No. 2 is the greatest competitive advantage of any career.
