A Bit of Wisdom

I'd like to share this quote I found while reading my Reader's Digest. It is an excerpt from the book "Wisdom" by Andrew Zuckerman.

The quote is by Massimo Vignelli, who with his wife Lella, make up a design team that has won over 130 awards.

He says: "Learn from the past if you want what matters in the present. Knowledge is the most important thing. To young people we say, Fill your brain with as much information as you can. Look at everything, know everything, develop a critical mind. History, theory, and criticism are the tree fundamental elements ot grow in a professional life. History will provide you with the tools for understanding. Theory will be the philosophy of why you're doing it. And criticism will provide you with the ability to continually master what you are doing. Play with these tools and you can do pretty good things."
