Wow, Amazing jaw dropping, inspiring post. It’s been a very long time since I came across post worth reading and actually enjoyed what I’ve read. Their are thousands of designer blogs out there and 90% repeat what the other designers have said or posted with slight twist. You, Amir have seriously made my day, I have just retweeted this article and I’ve added your blog to my designers blog list. I look forward to more posts from you in future.

Thank again for sharing this great post.

I know exactly how you felt during the time you describe in this post — except I never got to the point of having to question why my salary didn’t make me happy — just jumped in head first before going the whole corporate route. So, obviously, everything you say about just taking action, and learning as necessary along the way is something that I hold very dear. Would love to talk to you about advising us — we have some interesting, and important, UX challenges to battle. Have followed you on Twitter; lemme know if you’re up for a chat. cheers, David

Thank you, Dale, for your kind words.
So far, I haven’t had any regrets about my move. I have taken more and more risks in the past year, some of them paid off, and some of them I learned from. At the end, they are shaping my life in ways that I could never imagine.

Powerful post, one of the best I’ve read anywhere in a long time.

I’ll need to snag a copy of The Teachings of Don Juan sometime soon – if it’s anything like The Alchemist (one of the few books I actually own) then I can see why you couldn’t get it out of your head.
