::: VICTOR TSAI :::

I think of design is a science. I had a meet of promoting at today. An old man said that art is a behavior for creating, but I consider that he mean the design. For a long time afterwards, I was very clear known the design is a business and is not an event of art.

揚上一朵熱氛的煙花，

訴不清，迷濛臉龐，

同你思緒喧嘩，

尋澈亮那的一池水塘。

It deserved to celebrate in the today, because I had met a bad situation in my life when I was a teacher, but it is a petty thing that I don’t care. I think of everything is a kind of learning at any situation, so I will keep my rosy to face it.

I fear that take a contest of design, because I am diffidence. I become a useful tool for any people. Anyone to own many skills are useless, because it is not yourself. I can find the deep life to create one and only product. How to understand self? How to feel and how to think? The innovation of origin is self. No thinking is thinking, too. If you have not experienced, the reason you do not to do. The thinking of level is difference by everyone. Why the opinion is penetrating from others? It is must to research.

The process, the design of innovation, it is necessary to understand and to take down. Example, a great character carefully observed the behavior of feeling. All of creating of art has a common sense at the process that perceiving and taking down. It is a origin of innovation. At same time, perceiving and writing can be colorful through imagination. If you can do that I will be congratulations to you, because you had been created. Furthermore, It is a more difficult process. How to make a real product? Design is a kind of trade. It is almost have rules and listen to some people. Example, you design a name card at 9*5 centimeters area.

When in the view, imagine having no conflict with those norms, the commerce has designed the works and finished. If harmony has emerge yet, this is a fine work. Norms often easy, but view and imagines have no limit. Example, permutation of the gene want to harmony and no conflict even producing a good result that is not easy. Only a method is to try not stopped.

德雷莎修女的總部壁文：
人有時不可信賴、有時極端自私，儘管如此，你還是得寬恕他們。
你對人和藹，人們卻以為你別有用心，儘管如此，你還是得何善待人。
今天你所做的事，到了明天可能已被遺忘，儘管如此，你還是要以助人為樂。
你雖然心胸開闊，也可能敗在心胸狹隘的小人手下，
儘管如此，你還是得當個心胸開闊的君子。
你總是覺得一無所有，儘管如此，你還是要把最心愛的東西與大家分享。

有人問我，你將來要做什麼？
我說：「我要做一個在世界上發光發亮的設計師。」
他說：「加油！」
我又說：「或許我會去隱居。」
他問：「如果你去隱居，那怎麼在世界上發光發亮？」
我回答：「我在自己生命中的世界發光發亮。」

7-11都有聯合勸募基金，就在櫃檯旁的零錢桶，你的一點錢可以幫助很多人，例如台幣三、四塊可以讓非洲的人民飽餐一頓，免於餓死的命運，台幣二、三十元可以幫助他們施打抗生素，免於疾病殘身。有看過電影《黑鷹計劃》、《盧安達飯店》的人可以看看這本書，因為，他所記載的更為詳述、更為寫實。連我，在看到二分之一的地方，也不禁闔上書本落淚，如果這地方有所謂的地獄那非這些國家莫屬。有個小女孩，他來到了難民營發放糧食的招領處，只為了一碗粥，但是他因為營養不良的症狀，導致整個口腔潰爛，一張嘴便傳出刺鼻難聞的惡臭，加上鼓脹的肚子，只剩下骨頭的形骸，令我想起中國畫上餓鬼道的模樣。

還記得我先前介紹的《當和尚遇到鑽石》這本書，雖然他輕描淡寫的訴說鑽石的由來，但是這本書將告訴你這世界上十五大礦區，有九座便出自於黑暗大陸─非洲，每一個鑽石可以說是經由生命、血淚與無數的悲情所開採出來，變成了奢華與無知的貴商品。例如：開採鑽石的工作都是年紀不到10歲的孩童，在滿是汙穢的流水慢慢的掏沙，工作超過12個小時，只為了換得一頓，縱使他們身上因為穢水而長滿了疙瘩潰爛與各式的皮膚病。這些礦區，一直以來是非洲還算小康的地區，但卻是戰火連綿、兵家必爭之地，假設這些軍黨以五萬美元的價格賣給紐約的供貨商，這些供貨商就再以四百萬美元的價格賣出。而軍黨們所得到的五萬美元幾乎就兌換成了武器與毒品，繼續的殘殺自己的同胞。

I spend long time in thinking the way of design. I found that many designers own themself viewpoint on culture, esthetics and lifestyle, so that have many different portfolios.

It is a question about how to become a product from many ideas. If you have a contest of design and how do you to create a product win it. I believe that nobody want to be a loser in the contest. I have a feeling what easier said than done.
