Don’t work. Be hated. Love someone by Adrian Tan.
He was the guest-of-honour at a recent NTU convocation ceremony. This was his speech to the graduating class of 2008.
_______
Oh that title is provocative! More than that in fact. Read it. It’s a MUST. Really I insist. It deeply affected me. It still resonates today. A few times in a lifetime you’re offered a jewel of rare intelligence, of insights of that kind. Rare. Very.
Consider your options. You find the title too (insert thought here).. or not enough (insert another thought here)..
Pass reading.. Missing. Big time.
This is a lifechanger.

How to Spot the Future by Thomas Goetz
Odds are that any idea deemed potentially transformative, any trend we think has legs, draws on one or more core principles. They have played a major part in creating the world we see today.
1. Look for cross-pollinators.
2. Surf the exponentials.
3. Favor the liberators.
4. Give points for audacity.
5. Bank on openness.
6. Demand deep design.
7. Spend time with time wasters.

Happy World Communication Design Day 2012 – We LOVE design!
The theme ‘Convergence’ celebrates the changes in design practice: the digital revolution; cross-disciplinary collaboration; the convergence of ‘expanded media’ and open-source creative capital. This day also honours all those involved in promoting the value of communication design throughout the world today.
