Practice means to perform over and over again, in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired. Indian tradition offers us the same through the notion of sadhana: a rigorous, immersive, repetitive and ego-transcending practice that leads you to realization of the divine. Every day of an architect's life should be a day of sadhana. Let us place before you nine lessons that will illuminate you:
Lesson No. 1: A graduation ceremony is much more than either a formality or a celebration
Lesson No. 2: Architecture is a discipline
Lesson No. 3: Architectural design is much more than a problem-solving exercise
Lesson No. 4: It is the work that speaks, not the architect
Lesson No. 5: Theory and practice work best when they contradict each other
Lesson No. 6: You are unique
Lesson No. 7: Drawing by hand is important
Lesson No. 8: We learn by doing more than we learn by knowing
Lesson No. 9: Architecture is greater than the architect
