The slightest nod of approval catapults your work-- whether in design, writing, etc.- forward at an alarming speed. The all-nighters spent doubting your ideas & project's purpose get a pat on the back & lead to the creation of a new energy to produce at levels you never thought possible. My former design professor once told us "If you understand 40% of what I'm saying, you're on the right track". This seems foolish after a formal review in which your work gets lauded for its clarity & creativity; you grow braver in these instances.
We must learn to convert these energies into something useful & maintain our levels of production-- both in quantity & quality. We churn out these designs from our hearts & minds, all the while trying to create that muscular soul Nietzsche wrote about; the need to satisfy our being is dire in this process.
Transcending mediocrity has been a constant goal in my life. This academic setting is perfect for us to "go big" with our visions. Let's surround ourselves with the wild ones who don't care about sleep as long as we're getting out our best work. The fervor we contain will kick down new doors.
