Stefan Sagmeister, nacido en Austria en 1962, es un exitoso diseñador gráfico y tipógrafo. Actualmente vive y trabaja en Nueva York donde tiene su propio estudio.

Hasta aquí una historia entre convencional y aburrida. Lo que me ha resultado interesante de Sagmeister no es lo que hace (reconozco que además, no he visto mucho) sino su manera de pensar, las cosas que dice…

Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.
Being not truthful works against me.
Helping other people helps me.
Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
Everything I do always comes back to me.
Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
Over time I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
Money does not make me happy.
Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
Assuming is stifling.
Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
Trying to look good limits my life.
Worrying solves nothing.
Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
Having guts always works out for me.
