Worrying solves nothing!

Worrying indeed dosen't solve anyting…i find my entries title so true!! Well been looking at Stefan Sagmeister's new book titled: "Things that I have learned so far in life".





The maxims he has for each experience he encountered made me think a little more. Heres a video of what I have watched on Hillman Curtis the interactive mastero's website http://www.hillmancurtis.com/hc_web/film_video/source/fof/sagmeister08.php, it is a documentation of Sagmeister's latest exhibition at Deitch Project. The whole vid is very nicely shot…so even for you guys who don't do design or don't know him, heres the time to know this fella alittle better.

Maxims from his latest book see if they make senses to you…

1. Helping other people helps me.

2. Having guts always works out for me.

3. Thinking that life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.

4. Organising a charity group is surprisingly easy.

5. Being not truthful always works against me.

6. Everything I do always comes back to me.

7. Assuming is stifling.

8. Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.

9. Over time I get used to everything and start taking for granted.

10. Money does not make me happy.

11. My dreams have no meaning.

12. Keeping a diary supports personal development.

13. Trying to look good limits my life.

14. Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.

15. Worrying solves nothing.

16. Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.

17. Everybody thinks they are right.

18. If I want to explore a new direction professionally, it is helpful to try it out for myself first.

19. Low expectations are a good strategy.

20. Everybody who is honest is interesting
