Als er herausfand, dass wir Lehrlinge zwar dem Alkohol zusprachen, aber rein gar nichts von Wein verstanden, lud Monsieur in der Mittagspause zum Weinseminar mit seiner Frau, Brigitte Bouley. Das Angebot zu Beginn des Kurses war so groß wie beschämend für uns: jeder dürfe sich jetzt eine Flasche seiner Wahl aus dem Weinkeller holen und mit nachhause nehmen. Wir hätten jetzt die Wahl unter Bouteillen zu mehrere tausend Mark, erklärte Monsieur – nur leider wussten wir Lehrlinge nicht welche Flaschen das genau gewesen wären. Wir begannen und für Wein zu interessieren.

Don’t do something to make money. I think a lot of people who are really wealthy probably didn’t start out saying, “I’m doing this to make a lot of money.” When you’re starting something, I really believe you have to have that passion. There has to be a burn, like a shark going after blood.

Read. As writers, we should read a lot — it makes us better at our craft. But reading someone else’s work can often help us uncover our next great idea, too. So if you’re stuck, pick up a book and sit down in your favorite reading chair. And remember to make time to read outside of your usual topic.

Was mache ich in Zukunft mit diesem Fotoapparat? Es wird ein ständiger Begleiter, der sowohl Urlaubsknipse als auch Hochzeitsreporter ist. Mein Hund liebt die Kamera und ich daher ebenso. Manchmal denkt man ja “früher war alles besser”. Wenn ich so ein Gerät in der Hand habe, freue ich mich aber in der heutigen Zeit zu leben.

It’s my turn to order: Americano, black. The dark-haired girl at the register is wearing a smile I’d like to frame. She’s intimidatingly attractive, and so I fumble for something clever to say when she asks me how I’m doing. But I’ve got nothing, no words: my mouth, a swordless sheath, a book without pages.

If you could give advice to a young designer starting out, what would you say? Do whatever you can to set the bar really high. Find people who are better than you and follow them. Develop your taste. Develop a goal for where you want to be and if your skills aren’t there yet, that’s totally okay. I think that knowing what good is and being able to strive for it is key because then you’ll be willing to do whatever it takes to connect the dots. Find what you love about your field and focus on that and the details will take care of themselves.
