I wonder how many thoughts pass through my head everyday.
     Today I was just thinking about role-playing.
     In dealing with the big names of the so-called creative industry, young struggling startups and the ever-enthusiastic art students, roles shift from one to another. Sometimes the matter of maintaining a consistent character is easily said, but tough to do.
     I suppose people affect people.
     The big-shots carry with them an aura that could transform young creatives into suckers.
     "Your work on so and so is so brilliant. You are brilliant. I hope one day I could learn from you."
     The young creatives turn old farts into big egos.
     "Your work on so and so is so-so. When we were working on so and so, we did so and so."
     And the students hurl their enthusiasm (or lack of) around.
     They either convert their lecturers into passionately encouraging people or cynically discouraging people.
    "You better sell Amway. My dog could design better than you."
     The fact is, it is a constant struggle to keep everything in check.
     To treat everyone at equal level. To maintain positiveness.
     To be frank, honest, constructive and direct and yet being considerate and sensitive.
     To walk right.
    
     That, I am still learning.
