I love the message within this video, his ideas regarding our fears as designers. My fears.
I recognize and or believe that I have week illustration skills, and fear that I will not make my mark within the design community due to that reason.
But after listening to Glaser, I have come to a realization. Yes. I would love to make my mark in the design community. It would be wonderful to have people study my work one day. But honestly, I just want to design because it makes me happy. I enjoy the problem solving, the thrill of figuring out the unknown. I want to 'embrace failure' and recognize my weaknesses, building upon my strengths to help carry me places. I will then practice, and practice with the hope that I will grow and learn when I stumble. That is what school is for. Right? So that we can stumble, we can fall and fail.
As a wise man said (who may or may not have been in a batman movie...)
"Why do we fall?"
"So we can learn to pick ourselves back up."
