Everything I do always comes back to me
Stefan Sagmeister presented some of his work at the AIGA National Conference. Part of his talk was his year off self exploration. During that time off he discovered several things about himself and what he does, and put it down on paper.
Here is his list:
• Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
• Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.
• Being not truthful works against me.
• Helping other people helps me.
• Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
• Everything I do always comes back to me.
• Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
• Over time I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
• Money does not make me happy.
• Traveling alone is helpful for new perspective on life.
• Assuming is stifling.
• Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
• Trying to look good limits my life.
• Worrying solves nothing.
• Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
• Having guts always works for me.
He then took some of these and gave them a visual interpretation. Those creations were later used in .copy magazine as section dividers.

That's his wisdom for a year of self exploration? Cutting himself for that AIGA poster must have taken its toll. :-)
