Most professionals, after reaching some success with their work, deepen their knowledge in one particular area, which leads to ignoring everything else which is outside of their professional interest. So a web designer only reads books and magazines about web development and CSS, a fashion designer only looks at developments in the world of fashion and a photographer only looks at photography books and blogs.

But part of great design is taking lateral leaps of logic, of challenging assumptions, letting the world change your mind, staying receptive to new experiences and ways of thinking, channeling the energy and ideas around you, knowing anything is possible, letting your intuition drive your thinking, not saying no, not shutting things down, re-evaluating your point of view, treating everyone as if they have something to teach you, staying mentally agile, sharp, light, nimble, and quick.
