the child within us....

"The greatest gift you can give yourself is to retain the wonder of childhood and add that to adult experience" Because children have no preconceptions - their minds are blank and they fill them up. And that is a wonderful thing about watching them grow up. They are amazed at everything! And really, as you get older, and you add the discipline of being a designer, you add design skills, you add the skill of analysis, but if you retain that original child-like ability to be absolutely fascinated with new things, then you can maintain your curiosity, and your inventive, creative energy your whole life.
-Syd Mead (the great maestro of concept design world. He is 75 and still delivers his great hand sketches and renders to big manufacturing and entertainment industries))
