每個階段有每個階段會有的膨脹及自滿， 有些時候可以是正面也可以是負面， 就看如何拿捏平衡。

一切都太天真絕對，不管是業內或業外人士，都把這玩意兒想的太美，或許部分得道之人已練就一身好武藝，午夜夢迴之時仍難免惆悵。看著不少前輩們，從對設計狂熱到無奈的流於陪酒賣笑，就是有業主喜歡，設計師不會也得學，學不會或太誠實，就等著被裝可愛的弄你。

設計生命短的讓人心寒，勉強的延長設計生命，相對的失去了身為人的條件及活力，然而這一切終究只得到約莫五分鐘的掌聲及成就感，兩者兼顧還得看你的先天條件答不答應，或是上一代的豐功偉業給不給面子。一度嘗試放棄過往累積，離開這熟悉病態的文化，卻又眷戀那一步步留下的跛腳足跡。

到了一個階段，或多或少都會有這麼一絲感慨，
儘管我一向都很正面的看待。

對於剛踏進職場的新銳設計人，莫名的高身段姿態，嘴巴上熱情澎湃，實際上卻不願多花個幾分鐘在設計上，滿腦子電影畫面及創意總監心態，卻不願努力讓那個不實際的美麗畫面成真，給舞台賜光環，豈是光坐在那臉上寫著懷才不遇就會有的？每個階段有每個階段會有的膨脹及自滿，有些時候可以是正面也可以是負面，就看如何拿捏平衡。在幾次的面試，我總是會問︰你到底有沒有真的認真想過，是不是真的要進入這個行業？當然，答案總是非常非常肯定。

相對自己，該累積的經驗，該作的功課雖說有一定程度的努力，但會有的專業瑕疵及怠惰也時而有之，這是對於自己的誠實，也是勇氣。重新出發，總不能站的太高，還得先彎下腰。

評論也好，新聞也罷。雖說，難免零星關於資格論的質疑，畢竟總是個過程，一種抒發，及一些對大環境的態度，最重要的，是現實諸態中難得的誠實(雖然我一向誠實的可笑)，具體資格是沒有，但人總有回憶及檢討的權利。

During a certain stage, you may feel proud or complacent of your job, which could be positive or negative depending on how you keep it balanced.

Whether working in the realm of design or not, everybody thought it was so wonderful to be a designer.  Some talented ones, perhaps, have had professional skills, but still don’t know where to go as facing their works and themselves honestly at midnight.  I know some designers who mastered in the field earlier have lost their passion and just did something to please their bosses.  They have to do whatever the proprietors want perfectly, or lose their jobs.  Designing career is amazingly short.  You may lose inspiration and energy of life if unnaturally trying to prolong your designing career.  You may be successful temporarily if you are lucky enough to overcome your problem or transcend others. You can have both only if you were born exceptionally energetic and gifted or that your family background is strong.  However, you will be sentimentally attached to all efforts you have made while giving up.

At a certain stage, I may be more or less emotional although I try to remain positive.

Some freshmen in the realm of design somehow over-estimate their skills, talk more than what they can do, and spend too less time on working.  They only care about the unpractical pictures and thought they could be directors someday, but never attempt to make any effort to devote their talent to the stage and make the dream come true.  They don’t understand the meaning of “no pay, no gain.”  In a certain stage, you may feel proud or complacent of your job, which could be positive or negative depending on how you keep it balanced.  As interviewing the new, I always ask, “did you think seriously before you decided to enter this field?”  It is for sure that the answer is always positive.

As for myself, I try to make efforts on accumulating my experiences and skills although sometimes I feel trapped and inactive.  However, I am always honest to myself and full of courage.  You need to bend you back while proceeding to a new direction.

You don’t have to care about criticism or relative information at news.  People’s questioning is just a process to push you toward “professional.”  Sometimes it is just an “attitude” towards the whole environment.  The most important thing is to be honest, on which I truly insist.  After all, people no matter who they are have the right to talk and criticize.
