Yes, design can make you happy.

I discovered that I never really used Helvetica but I like to look at it. I like the VW beetle, too, although I've never driven one.

It is very important to embrace failure and to do a lot of stuff — as much stuff as possible — with as little fear as possible. It’s much, much better to wind up with a lot of crap having tried it than to overthink in the beginning and not do it.

I think it's ultimately inhuman to only see things for their functionality. We want things to be more than that. The desire for beauty is something that's in us, and it's not trivial.

Whenever I do overcome my inherent fear, it turns out well.

Everybody thinks they are right

The question I wanted to answer was, could I train my mind to be happy the same way one trains ones body?
