Two more weeks and we're done? That's what someone thinks...no offense but as long as we're in this career path, we will never reach the end. (I'm talking about the minor projects and portfolio review.)
It's a constant learning process which means we can never rest on our laurels. If we do that, inevitably we'll become obsolete and discarded. So I'm not thinking of two weeks ahead. Instead we should think further, possibly ten or twenty years in the future. What's going to be big then? Come on...level with me, do you think you're A grades will reflect your capabilities. It's such a farce.
Do you really want to estimate your potential on a scale of A-F? I'll tell you the worst kept secret in the world...no one can make you feel worthless except for yourself. Confidence, self-esteem that'll come in handy when your tutors, clients etc. reject your art, design and illustrations.
I feel anger subsiding in me. It's fuels the drive to raise my performance. I can finally feel the passion stirring in me. It took nearly 23 years for me to realise it and it feels incredible.
I don't want to be better than everyone else. No...that's not what the anger is telling me. It is telling me what I do right now is making me happy. And that was what I wanted all along.
In ten or twenty years, I want to be happy. That is my mission. Two more weeks - IMHO, is just another milestone.
