Food for thought

Just wanted to share an idea that came to my mind recently (mainly detonated by the image above). Many people (in my country) tend to choose their university or college, focusing mainly on factors that are quite irrelevant, from my point of view. Let's mention for instance, the size of the campus, their supposed "prestige", the facilities and of course the price, as if these things would for sure grant them a secure a dream job spot at the end of the studies.

Throughout my career (and maybe a little late), I came to the conclusion, that (for the worldly success that everyone is chasing), it doesn't matter at all where do you study.

If right now you're about to start a bachelor or any other level or kind of study, I highly recommend you to review 2 factors. First, try to find out who your teachers are gonna be. Try to find out everything about their professional career. What will they be teaching you, and consider also former students opinions. 

And second (and this only depends on you and no one else), ask yourself some basic questions. Do you have the discipline, the professionalism and most important, the passion to enroll that career? 

A successful career can be achieved by anyone with this characteristics, no matter the place, how expensive or cheap it is, or how beautiful their furniture is. 

If you came to this blog, because you like automotive design, you must know the man in the photo. So, It is not necessary to talk about all his exploits.

As I mentioned at the beginning, all this soliloquy came to my mind, because probably many people would expect Giugiaro, to be seated at a very fancy table on very fancy chair (and I'm pretty sure he has one). However, those things are far from having any importance. What matters here is the value of the person himself, and his work that is represented by some blueprints, sketches and work instruments on the table (a table that, btw, one can buy at any supermarket).

So, evaluate yourself. What is your real value? Are you really decided to go in pursuit of your "dream job" and prepare yourself with effort, or are you gonna be one of those students that practice and/or study mediocrely once a week or whenever you feel like it. Or maybe blame the lack of a fancy desk, tools, books...?

Follow your dream whatever it may be and never give up!
