Take on Mistakes Yes, we do say mistakes teach you a lot and you shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes. But we should also understand mistakes better and try not to make them intentionally. The learning happens from mistakes that happen by chance. Mistakes do come with a heavy price - they shake our self confidence, cause problems in relationships, lead to losses, and sometimes loss of face. But there is a way to recover from mistakes and learn from them, and it starts with first admitting the mistake. It’s important also to understand the difference between a mistake and a bad decision. A bad decision is invariably a call that you take intentionally knowing that it may not work. Mistakes happen unintentionally. If you read a map wrong and reach late, that’s a mistake, but if you decide to experiment with a new road knowing well that you may get late...that is a bad decision.

Designindia was founded in 2002. It was started as a platform for interaction for the design community in India and abroad. Over the years it has grown into a forum spread over many social and professional networking domains, linking design professionals into an active, interactive and thought leading community.
Every mistake should lead you to problem solving. Step back, accept the mistake, and then think about where and what you did and what and when would you do something different so it doesn’t happen again. This is when the mistake becomes a learning for you. Don’t forget to genuinely extend sincere apologies to people for whom you may have caused a problem. In life or in a design process this can lift a lot of the weight for you. Sudhir

SOCIAL CHANGE
Effecting social change is what moves Nirmala Nair, and she uses her training as a designer to reach the widest possible audience
Why did you choose to pursue design and how has it influenced your career? NN: I used to do a lot of political street theater in Delhi, and had a deep sense of how art can change the world. The need to learn filmmaking rose out of the need to include films and technology to reach a larger audience. It took me six months to find my place at NID (where I pursued a Post Graduate Diploma in Visual Communication). Design Thinking was the course that shattered me. It challenged every belief and semblance of knowledge I thought I had, even while giving me a sense of purpose.
Though I did not use the process consciously till much later in my career, design thinking started acting as a solution to problems. It took me a while to understand what design education meant to me. Everything from finding comfort in the unknown to exploring form to looking at things from different angles, to attention to detail – NID equipped me with the tools to work with. The ‘content’ of what I create was shaped by experiences in school, college and other things I did in life but it was NID that gave me the vision and tools to add a ‘form’ to it.
