Today is the first day of the rest of your life – Demand the Impossible

It’s Nice That has a nice piece by Lawrence Zeegen, an educator in the U.K, about challenging yourself and taking risks, especially while we’re young.

Is it just me that remains unconvinced that in today’s climate of fear; today’s art and design students, tomorrow’s artists and designers, just aren’t pushing hard enough, aren’t bucking the system, leading an insurgent revolt or dissenting, rising up – where have all the radicals gone?
