DESCRIPTION
What are students of interior design programs facing when they graduate? How we got to here, what should students understand about the current state of economy, and construction industry, and how can they ensure success in their careers. Jenny S. Schrank and Aga Artka discuss....TRANSCRIPT
Your career. Your future.Do you have what it takes to succeed.
Nothing is impossible“I will never be able to dunk a basketball.
This is beyond discussion.
Imagine, though, a co-worker who says, "I'll never be able to use a knife and fork. No, I have to use my hands."
Or a colleague who says, "I can't possibly learn Chinese. I'm not smart enough."
This is a mystery to me. A billion people have learned Chinese, and the failure rate for new kids is close to zero. If a well functioning adult puts in sufficient time and the effort, she''ll succeed.
The key to this disconnect is the unspoken part about time and effort and fear. I agree that you will never ship that product or close that sale or invent that device unless you put in the time and put in the effort and overcome the fear. But I don't accept for a minute that there's some sort of natural limit on your ability to do just about anything that involves creating and selling ideas.”
