I always believe and have always experienced that if you are interested in something so deeply, your mind does the work for you. It keeps possibilities on radar for you, keeps your ears perked up. Then the only thing you have to do is decide whether or not to act on the opportunities that are sitting there, to ask for a chance. Fantastic article.

In regards to your decision, I would like you to keep one thing in mind: You will get to what you want if you persist. Never loose faith that you can do it. Some time ago someone asked me how I got to be a designer. I thought about it and I couldn't only come up with this simple answer: "I decided I wanted to do it, I studied Graphic Design and now I am designing." The comment I got back was: "Sound like the way to do things, you decide to do them and then you do them." I was a bit shaken by that comment. Before that time I thought that there was really nothing exciting about how I became a designer--that's how you would do it. But the comment I got made me realize that I worked for it and I kept my passion for it growing until I almost naturally managed to get into the profession. Some people didn't understand the choice, but I did it anway and now those same people are amazed to see how I am happy of the result of my choice.

I was a bit shaken by that comment. Before that time I thought that there was really nothing exciting about how I became a designer–that’s how you would do it. But the comment I got made me realize that I worked for it and I kept my passion for it growing until I almost naturally managed to get into the profession. Some people didn’t understand the choice, but I did it anway and now those same people are amazed to see how I am happy of the result of my choice.

You know, design doesn't necessarily have to be exclusive of science and math. Industrial design is the profession of designing objects--everything from furniture to boxes, watches to motorcycles--and relies heavily on math, physics, design, and, in some cases, chemistry. There's also arcitecture, amusement park ride design, and a hundred other options! Investigate your options--there are many, many avenues open to you. Thanks for catching that bug, Aneesah!

I really hope I can say "I only do what I love" one day. I'm in high school, going on to college next year, and for a long while I couldn't decide whether to pursue in something I'm good at (Science, Maths) or something I have always loved (Arts, Desgining). This article just made me more confident in my decision. By the way, I believe the "Discuss" link up there does not bring me anywhere. It seems like the proper anchor has been commented out?
