Thanks so much for your kind words! <3 That's a fantastic question, makes me think. There are probably a couple points, but lets stay true to your question and just name one:
Nr.1 - Ignore everyone & Don't take things too seriously.
Let me explain: When I started, I always thought that there must a be RIGHT way to do things in design. Only after many years I discovered that there are not only many ways to be right, but also that challenging the status quo is actually what good design is about.
When I started out I was always too afraid to make mistakes, trying to minimize risk and read a lot into "How to do things right."
Looking back, I would tell myself to be more relaxed. Design, especially what we now know as digital design is such a young field that literally no one has figured it out. It either means that we're all right, or we're all wrong.
When I started I was very much focused on the design, for the sake of design. Today I'm more focused on what I can do with design as a tool.
Great question, I hope my answer made any sense (: Tobias
