While going through old magazines this weekend, I stumbled across this page in the first issue of
PORTER MAGAZINE. Life rules from the Jenna Lyons = Perfection. I've included them below if you can't make them out in the picture (sorry!) as they are some truly wise words.
- I work on my instincts. At the end of the day, it’s all you have. If you don’t trust yourself, no one else is going to either.
- You can’t fix yesterday. And don’t beat yourself up over it – the only reason to beat yourself up is if you don’t learn from it.
- Respect honesty and transparency. There is no room for people who can’t give a clear and honest opinion.
- I feel like I’m learning – and making mistakes – all the time! But if I wasn’t and suddenly felt stagnant, that would be the thing that would make me not want to work.
- When I was younger, I always wanted things to be easier – but I learned that there are always some things in flux and always changing. Then I realized that makes things far more interesting.
- Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. There is no question. It’s a cliché, but it’s true.
- Never assume that just because we did it one way means that we can do it again the same next time.
- I realized early on that no matter what I am feeling and no matter what is happening to me, either personally or professionally, there is no place for that [in the workplace]. I am really good at compartmentalizing, probably to a fault! When you force yourself to do it, you realize that it’s not as hard as you think.
- I don’t want to stay looking the same. Someone once said that they didn’t recognize me because I wasn’t wearing a red lip, so I thought, “Oh, I won’t wear a red lip for a while.”
- Giving feedback in the creative world is so delicate. I spend a lot of time picking my words carefully.
