“Better design does not settle but seeks to continue to find ways to further improve itself. It don’t only target the person using the design but caters wholly to the people around it and also to those who don’t have it. Because designing for a better world means going beyond a self-fulfilling desire. It goes into a community-inspired, soul-seeking, and socially conscious effort of making design a little more real each day.”

“It’s in a creative’s nature to pore over details others don’t see (or pay for), willing to sacrifice money, time, and their own sanity to realise their vision. Since it’s so common, is it possible that creative people are predisposed to perfectionist traits — is it part of the package?”
Are we too impatient to be intelligent? →
“Some of you may have noticed this if you’ve got a GPS in your car. You’re driving on the motorway at 60, you realize you’re going to be five minutes late for an appointment, so you welly it. And after driving at an insanely fast and dangerous speed for about eight minutes, you suddenly realize your arrival time has only improved by one minute.”
