Great Qualities to Have

This week I was invited to give a talk to a group of young motivated designers. I chose to talk about the attributes that a designer should have.
After giving the lecture, I realized that these are the traits that all of us should have for life.

• Listen: Stay open to ideas, feedback, and answers. A person who listens is one who accepts suggestions and is willing to change his views and actions.
  
• Accept Criticism: It allows you to learn and grow. 
  
• Stay Humble: Do not brag about your achievements; let modesty be your drive and accomplishment be your impact.
  
• Have Integrity: Stay honest, stick to your principles. Do what you know is right.
  
• Take Risks: You have the opportunity to create unique directions. Leave your comfort zone! 
  
• Seek Excellence but not Perfection: Perfection is unforgiving and inflexible. Excellence is an attitude; is forgiving, allows you fail and improve.
  
• Collaborate: Be willing to share ideas and concepts. Have a horizontal understanding between disciplines. Everyone has a different set of skills.
  
• Simple Ideas: Create concepts easy to understand. Creativity is making the complicated simple.
  
• Stay Real: People will listen and believe in you!
