Jacek Utko Ted Talk

This Ted Talk was given by Jacek Utko. He is the designer for a small newspaper in Poland. After he started working for that newspaper the popularity increased up to 35% in only three years. The newspaper also recieved the award for the World's Best Designed Newspaper. But what really caught my attetion about this Ted Talk is the lessons he wants us to learn from his story, especially the second one. He states, "You can put your work to the highest possible level and anybody can do it. You just need Inspiration, Vision, and Determination. And you need to remember that good is not enough."

I find what he says really inspiring because I can relate to it. Rebecca and I want to accomplish something that to us seems like a really big and hard project. I know by experiance that painting a mural is not something simple. And especially not this one because we have the pressure that it is going to be seen by a lot of people. I think if we just keep in mind what Jacek said about having Inspiration, Vision and Determination we will be able to accomplish it. I get the inspiration from the kids. The vision that when im done it will have a small impact on somebody, or that somebody will have an impact on me. Also the determination that, at the end, we will be able to say "WE did it."
