This week I came across different situations were I was asked different questions that I really didn't have the answers to-like the difference between a raven and an eagle and my job title in 5 years. It was all unexpected. I hadn't the clue. I paused. Thought of something quick to say and then said out loud, "I don't know." My heart skipped. There was silence. I was scared.
While watching an info design related video this week I learned that sometimes its better to ask than answer and not know than know. If we were perfect we wouldn't be where we are today. Think about it. Its true. If I excelled at design I wouldn't be in design school.
Who would have thought saying three words: 'I,' 'don't,' 'know' would be okay after all.

Mo, you're right about how good it is to ask questions. Being perfect would be the most horrible, boring thing in the world. But I think you're wrong about the last bit--you ARE in design school because you excel at design. If you didn't, you wouldn't have ignored your parents and gone for an interview in the first place! You're at design school so you can learn, and get better, and network, and have fun!
