#Dear21YearOldMe

#Dear21YearOldMe

There is a profound lesson here for anyone who is about to enter their first work place, agency, environment.  We all fall, We all stumble. Some of us get demented by it. Some us enjoy the trek. Make sure its the right path, and keep picking yourself up. The choices are yours.  I wish I had known that at 21. 

“Work hard, Play hard”  goes without saying, though getting the balance right can be a bit of a challenge, particularly when the holiday season arrives. Seasonal work loads equal seasonal work entertainment. Culture is everything.  It’s where you spend most of your time during the day.  Your colleagues (if you so wish to choose) will be closer to you than your own family. 
Little brother who? nope, that intern is now your new little brother. 

No matter how hard your day has been at work the only person it comes down to; you.  The power of this is enormous. 


You can’t control if your client gives you briefs with 24 hour deadlines, what you can control is the way in which you decide to handle it. 

Above all, Don't be afraid to make mistakes. 

That's what your 20's are for!
