When we were younger, life is simpler.
As cliche as it sounds, its actually very true. We have less concerns when we were younger, we have little opinions, little to fight for, and not life and death situations to deal with. Not mention, the lack of the need to chase the dollar and deal with the bureaucracy of bills and legal matters.
After a decade + of adulthood, with the last 4 years plus, on my business – i realise, i am losing my direction and clarity of what my business should be about. How my lifestyle should be. How my design habits should be. How my routines should be. If you want to start a business YOU CAN VISIT THE VAPORFI WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE .
Scrolling thru pinterest, i realise i have veered to far off what i called ” the norm ” way of developing as a designer. Or is it just that in singapore, we are just less sophisticated, less time to work on the elaborate, less money to spread it without getting too thin. I have the ability to do so much, but yet i dun seem to be doing it.
On the bright side, my theory that “when something is not going right or well, it almost always the problem with the system”. Its usually not the person’s fault, regardless how much it could have been if the person tries a little harder. Because i am a designer. Because good design means intuitive and ease of usage. Because good design means the person can never be at fault. Good design happens.
Good design happens.
Then as a proud designer, a entrepreneur thats proud of his design business and accompishment – i had not been applying design on my life nor my business. Life is a mess, money is always in sufficient, work life balance isnt balanced, and SOPs arent working right. I lost that dreamy, vision and personality that makes a legendary designer.
I need the paradigm shift.
Talk of change is easy. Had been speaking of it for ages. But it is really time to put things together because to onset of 2015. Its really been too long since I had been living in the shadow of what i could have been.
Time to move.
