10 Rules of Generous Design


Rule 1:
Ask yourself what you are interested in at least once a month.



Rule 2: 
Never try to learn answers; always reflect on how you ask questions.


Rule 3: 
When someone challenges you, take it as a compliment. They could have kept their mouth shut. Silence is the biggest offense.


Rule 4:
Order is overrated, so are rules. Machines do both best.

Rule 5:
Learn to identify moments of discomfort. That is learning.

Rule 6:
Look at everything upside down.

Rule 7: 
Learn to dance with your words and thoughts.

Rule 8: 
Be a traveler, not a conqueror.

Rule 9:
Don't think about the cause and effect of actions; focus on the design of environments.
