"The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on." --Oscar Wilde

Advice as an Art Form

Advice is subjective. But, by passing on advice in a creative way, it is possible to create something that lasts, that people will want to live with and which can let the advice sink in slowly and help out later on. That's precisely the premise of "Advice to Sink in Slowly," a wonderful project enlisting design graduates in passing on advice and inspiration to first-year students through an ongoing series of posters. It's a completely refreshing way to tap into the subjective wisdom we wish we'd known earlier, but often don't get a chance to pass on to those who can benefit. This Brain Pickings post unpacks the secrets of happiness and creativity one poster at a time.
