Milton Glaser: The Ten Things I Have Learned
Milton Glaser on the ten (10) things he has learned working in the design industry for over fifty years. Some excerpts:
Never have a job, because if you have a job someday someone will take it away from you and then you will be unprepared for your old age.
On eliminating 'toxic' people in your life:
There is a test to determine whether someone is toxic or nourishing in your relationship with them. Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball game. It doesn’t matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energized or less energized. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible and I suggest that you use it for the rest of your life.
On liking the people you work for:
I discovered that all the work I had done that was meaningful and significant came out of an affectionate relationship with a client. And I am not talking about professionalism; I am talking about affection. I am talking about a client and you sharing some common ground. That in fact your view of life is someway congruent with the client, otherwise it is a bitter and hopeless struggle.
