Reality Check: Believe in yourself. Project Hero.
8 months ago, during my Graduation Jury on the work I spent night and day working on mercilessly for a whole year; the Jurors’ disliked my idea, my design, my work. Even though I defended it good, it was the hardest Jury I ever had. They respected it, but believed it didn’t work. I believed in it, I knew and researched every minute detail and answered all the question, but the “experts” didn’t.
It was too complicated..
It had lots of technology..
Make it a motorbike..
Why is it a “Mercedes”..
The drone won’t work..
Now, LandRover & the Austrian Red Cross/Red Crescent created a Discovery that is similar to my kit, harboring the same technology and the same drone type. Although it is PR for a new car (#projecthero), the idea and design itself not only works perfectly but IS very similar to the kit design I created and can fit the Land Rover. And fits the purpose smoothly.
Proud of this. I should have believed in the project and my work, regardless what the “experts” said to me. Sometimes there are moments that light the fire, or the first step into a long journey. For me, this was it; if anything, this kick-started my dream projects, and now I am ready to tackle anything.
