3 bits of advice every twenty-something needs to hear

A provocative TED talk given by Clinical psychologist Meg Jay. She gives 3 pieces of advice for how twenty-somethings can re-claim adulthood in the defining decade of their lives. The talk starts off on the topic of relationships before moving on to career, social life, personality and life goals. One quote that stood out for me in this talk is one by Leonard Bernstein:

“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.”

That one certainly rings true for me when designing (and most other things thinking about it). There’s nothing like the drive of determination you get working on a project who’s deadline is just that bit too tight.
