I like amassing knowledge and wisdom. And i just finished watching a great talk by a legend of European design named Michael Wolff. He talks about a lot of valuable things that designers and fledgling students can learn from. He discusses key qualities that designers need. He expounds on his philosophies and his ideas about everything. It is really a very inspiring and educational talk.
And i really appreciated when he said...
"I know that being right is a pretty deadly thing.
And I know that thinking that you know what to do
is not a very useful thing."
And I know that thinking that you know what to do
is not a very useful thing."
I agree that by assuming this you effectively eliminate the experience of ever learning and growing. I like that his views contradict the norm and challenges convention - he is definitely a true creative!

I just remembered another wonderful thing that he said, which is...he respects boldness, but disrespects arrogance. He explains that with boldness there is humility and with arrogance a complete absence of such. Coming from a man with such great achievements and advocating humility is very admirable. Especially coming from an industry of giant egos and puffed-up personas. Brilliant!
