  The world is filled with smart, talented and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago, my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is great talent is not enough.

  I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”

  There is an old saying that goes, “Job means ‘just over broke(破产)’”.And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers“live within their means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

  When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's? ” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, hoe come McDonald's makes more money than you? ” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

  Lately, I’ve been talking about success with design students both at the school where I teach and at other programs that I visit.When I ask, “What is success?” The first response is, invariably(总是), “Getting a(n)  1   and making money.” It   2   some searching to arrive at a richer answer.  3  , getting paid is a baseline for success in any field.Putting this criterion on the table is a(n)  4   step.

  When I ask design students to talk about what makes design different from the fine   5  , they gravitate towards(被吸引到)the role of the client.Designers serve clients, or so the logic goes,   6   artists serve themselves.

  Although it is true that designers generally rely on clients, pleasing them is not the   7   purpose of our work.What designers share with our clients is the   8  .Our clients wouldn’t need us at all if we weren’t helping them   9   that public.The public may never know who designed the coffee cup they’re holding, the magazine they’re reading or the sign that’s   10   them where to go.But they’re seeing it, and some of them might, at some level, have their   11   enlivened(使有生气), simplified or otherwise improved by it.One way to think about success is asking whether your work gets   12   or used, and if so, whether using it improves people’s lives.

  Designers have many ways to   13   to their profession and to see and be seen in the design world.One is entering competitions and   14   work to annuals and exhibitions.Another is   15   the design community-going to events, lectures and conferences, and helping to organize them, too.Yet another involves   16   and writing.Blogs and online journals like this one enable any designer to have a voice and share ideas.

  Success is   17   going to work every day and getting paid.Success means finding personal satisfaction   18   your work and loving what you do.And it means engaging with a(n)  19   world:a world of clients and employers, but also of readers, users and other designers.It is those things that make us   20  .
