Put one of these up where you will see it often

This is a reproduction of a sticker that was put up on a number of MTA cars. It was made to look like the original with some of the content changed.

Stefan Sagmeister talks @ TED about design in general and about these stickers. He also talks about how good design can evoke feelings of happiness from a person. It's an interesting 15 minute timeout.

In the video Sagmeister shows a list of 16 ideas that could make life a little more tolerable, here they are:

1. Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
2. Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.
3. Being not truthful works against me.
4. Helping other people helps me.
5. Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
6. Everything I do always comes back to me.
7. Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
8. Over time I get used to everything and start taking if for granted.
9. Money does not make me happy.
10. Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
11. Assuming is stifling.
12. Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
13. Trying to look good limits my life.
14. Worrying solves nothing.
15. Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
16. Having guts always works out for me.
