DO NOT READ THIS
This post is purely to celebrate those rebels in life like myself. Society and tradition play a big role in our daily lives, consciously and unconsciously. Its the desire to step out the boundaries once put upon us by our same family and even those close to us.
I am glad to know people along these years who despite their surroundings they have come along successful at the end. These rebels is what I would like to become someday, somehow.
Next here are some rules that perhaps, can be broken once in a while and I dare you all to try it sometime:
You can’t have it all
I genuinely believe that you can have it all, as long as you don’t try and do it all. If you’ve got the best support system in your real life and in your work life, and you’re are not afraid to ask for help, you can definitely have a brilliant career and be a brilliant human being.
The client is always right
Clients get the work they deserve. So if they are ballsy, ambitious, smart, brave clients they will get ballsy, ambitious, smart, brave work. If they are a scared, mediocre, vanilla client they will get work that doesn’t get noticed. So call the out on it.
Answer the brief
You can’t just give someone a brief and expecting them not to want to have a conversation, or ask any questions, or completely 100 per cent disagree with it – which I do most of the time. The better way has to be to get to the brief together. Creative people need to get in on the conversation, whether that’s with their strategist or with their client, and come up with a brief together.
Fitting in
Especially as a creative person, you mustn’t fit in. it’s our job to scare people and challenge perceptions. Different inputs give different outputs. We are all right in the middle of all this incredible conversation about diversity, so go and be the different somewhere – stand out, and if you’re too comfortable then leave. I believe creative people work best when they’re scared when they’re challenged and they are learning.
BE DIFFERENT, BE WEIRD, BE AWESOME AND BE…YOU.
