20 "DON'TS" FOR DESIGNERS | 设计师的20个“不要"
不要因为设计不获得审批而沮丧，把它留给下一个懂得欣赏你的客户。跟你现在的客户说：“我已有一个更好的想法，你想看吗？”
不要因为设计能力难以提升而失望，是时候勇敢地向你心仪的导师寻求指导。我告诉你，好的导师都是不吝啬的。
不要因为你的领导不信任你的创意而生气。你要感谢他的意见，并说：“有你的信任，我将会做得更好。”
不要因为不可控的因素而令团队的士气低落。你要想：“是时候把创意扩展到所有部门。是时候建立坚韧的组织文化。是时候让自己变得更有责任感。”
不要因为工作伙伴的背叛而彷徨。问问自己：“我真的需要拍档吗？是因为恐惧还是因为责任能分摊？”
不要害怕被人工智能(AI)取代你的工作，因为你那富有温度的微笑、你的人性温暖，以及你的临在，人工智能都无法比拟。那么，你拥有多少呢？
不要让生活变得暗淡无光，因为你的设计也会如此。
不要因为迷失方向而担忧。相反地，当你以为目标清晰却仍感到迷失时，才是需要正视的时候。
不要介意媒体的评语。问问自己：“是真的吗？”给自己更多改进的机会。
不要为了钱而奋斗，因为钱不能带你到达那个你会义无反顾要到达的地方。问问自己你的钱有什么用？“可以买车、买房、买快乐、买自由。。。”然后呢？“可以过自己喜欢的生活、做自己喜欢的工作、照顾家庭、享受生活、退休。。。”然后呢？然后呢？
不要以为你的呕心沥血的创作大于一切，客户必须接受。先问问自己，你对你的客户的需求有多深入理解？已经很理解吗？那么，改吧。
不要害怕“先小人后君子”，因为“先君子后小人”更可怕。
不要妄自菲薄。客户都懂得游戏规则，让你觉得不重要，但不要被愚弄！但。。。如果是真的呢？去想想如何变得更有价值吧。
不要以为服务就需要讨好别人、唯命是从。好的服务是积极倾听和理解客户真实需求的体现。
不要以为自己的公司是贷款公司，做设计不追款，不收款，其实客户暗自嘲笑你的不专业。
不要给那些只愿支付好设计费但不支持创作的客户机会，他们对你和你公司带来的伤害比没有钱还要多。
不要忽略你的员工，其实你做的一切，他们都看得清楚听得明白。干脆做个诚信的领导，让他们看到真正的你。
不要为了求生而工作。看看那些野外求生的节目，都是教你吃虫子、树皮、牛粪，用动物尸体的皮革保暖和钻木取火的。你认为你的员工会长期愿意以这个方式和你一起工作吗？
不要对寻求别人帮助嗤之以鼻。因为只有疯子才会在胡同里打转还期望奇迹发生。你的“贵人”不一定比你有经验，但他们一定站得比你高，看到你看不到的东西。
不要以为没有人看到你不道德的行为而抱有侥幸心理。因为你总是无法欺骗自己的眼睛，那会让你更加苦恼。
Don't get discouraged by design disapproval. Leave it for the next client who appreciates your work. Tell your current client, "I have a better idea, would you like to see it?"
Don't be disappointed by the difficulty of improving your design skills. It's time to courageously seek guidance from a mentor you admire. Trust me, good mentors are always generous.
Don't resent your superiors for not trusting your creativity. Instead, be grateful and say, "With your trust, I will do even better."
Don't let uncontrollable factors deflate the team's morale. Think, "It's time to expand creativity to all departments. It's time to build a resilient organizational culture. It's time to become more responsible."
Don't be lost due to your partner's betrayal. Ask yourself, "Do I really need a partner? Is it out of fear or to share responsibilities?"
Don't fear being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) in your job because AI can never match your warm smile, human warmth, and presence. So, how much do you have?
Don't let life become dull because your designs will reflect that.
Don't worry about losing direction. On the contrary, when you feel lost despite thinking you have a clear goal, that's when you need to face it.
Don't mind the media's comments. Ask yourself, "Is it true?" Give yourself more chances to improve.
Don't strive for money alone because it cannot take you to the place where you'd go without hesitation. Ask yourself, what is the purpose of your money? "To buy a car, a house, happiness, freedom..." And then what? "To live the life you love, do the work you love, take care of your family, enjoy life, retire..." And then what? And then what?
Don't think that your painstaking creation should be accepted by clients by default. First, ask yourself, how deeply do you understand your clients' needs? Very well? Then, revise your design.
Don't be afraid to be a "small person" before being a "noble person" because being a "noble person" before being a "small person" is even scarier.
Don't underestimate yourself. Clients understand the rules of the game, making you feel unimportant. But don't be fooled! But... what if it's true? Think about how to become more valuable.
Don't think that service means pleasing others and obeying their every command. Good service is actively listening to and understanding clients' genuine needs.
Don't treat your company as a loan company where you don't chase or collect payments for your designs. In reality, clients secretly mock your lack of professionalism.
Don't give clients who only want to pay for good designs but don't support creativity a chance. They can cause more harm to you and your company than not having money.
Don't neglect your employees because they see and understand everything you do. Be a leader with integrity and let them see the authentic you.
Don't work just to survive. Look at those survival shows in the wild that teach you to eat insects, tree bark, cow dung, use animal skin for warmth, and start fires with wood. Do you think your employees would be willing to work with you in this way in the long term?"
Don't scoff at seeking help from others. Only a madman would keep going in circles in an alley expecting a miracle. Your mentors might not be more experienced than you, but they certainly stand higher and see things you can't.
Don't think that nobody sees your unethical behavior and hold onto a false sense of luck. Because you can never deceive your own eyes, and that will only make you more miserable.
Love.
