-: When I was in architecture building
and I worked with the professors,
the thing that they did really well
is they would give us a project, an outline,
and they treated us as adults.
They would say, this is the project that you have
and this is what needs to get done.
You need to at least make par and do this.
We're not going to say if you do more it's bad.
But you should probably overachieve now.
So that created this self-discipline that we need
to work really hard, we need to learn all this,
we need to do it quickly on a very tight deadline,
and we need to overachieve.
Because there's a bit of competitiveness between students.
But you also want to challenge yourselves.
So the teachers I noticed in architecture building
specifically would always have
a very smart way of teaching that.
They wanted us to challenge each other.
And nothing is more challenging than one student
pinning up his work next to the other.
And if you see this guy's got outstanding work,
you're going to yourself Monday morning like,
oh my God, I hope I have the best project here today.
Otherwise I'm going to feel shameful.
That over many, many years was like, you know,
I need to do the best work all the time.
And it wasn't even a thought.
It was just the habit that they built in.
So typically you would go to a school
and they'd say, here's your homework.
Deliver your homework as intended.
But here is, here's your briefing.
Do it at the very least.
But it's not so much a surprise.
Do better, do more research,
do more work, and challenge yourselves.
And it was that self-discipline that they taught us.
That was really good.
