Michael McDonough's Top Ten Things They Never Taught Me in Design School
This from the "Design Observer: writings about design & culture" blog, a top ten list that applies not just to design but all creative jobs. The first one? Talent is about one-third of the success equation. The second (which maybe should have been first!): "95 percent of any creative profession is s**t work." I wish I'd understood this better when I started out ... I don't think I would have done things very differently, but I would have been quite a bit more accepting (and less agitated) toward certain aspects of the ride!
