Inspiration seems to be a rare and valuable thing worth more than any physical commodity, as it’s the concept that proves your worth. Basically you are only as good as your next idea. Presently I have seen that it comes from many varied forms but the main if not easiest one is from your peers which highlights the single biggest reason to come to uni, which is the company of your peers. As an example after staring into space fruitlessly waiting for some inspiration to dawn I went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. While I was eating I realised much of what I was doing at that moment had been inspired by a new friend and student I had meet through my course. A was reading a book that looked at the theory of film making which was greatly increasing my understanding, eating a pizza of superior quality, even wearing a jumper lent to me that was warmer than any thing I owned. Although none of these things are great world changing ideas they add up to a greater quality of life for me at that moment, and isn’t that what we strive for? A greater quality of life. Thus highlights the point I wanted to make about inspiration. By putting ourselves in this environment we have at our fingertips a great source of inspiration in each other. So work together, collaborate, ask questions, criticize and ask to be criticized because in the end the work will be greater that the sum of the parts.
