20. T

Deb Morrison recently lectured in my Journalism 207 class about the "I-person" and evolution into being the "T-person." I love this representation of the successful person in the industry. It's simple and smart.

I took one of Deb's many 'Morrisonian theories' and made an visual representation of the "T-person"

The "I" part of the T is a journey of self-discovery, personal motivation, and ass whooping by parents, friends and teachers. Hearts were broken, mistakes were made, problems were solved and battles were won and lost. The road should actually look more like a mysterious forest with hidden jaguars eyes peering out into the world, but that wouldn't create the best edges for an I.

The top of the "T" is a toolbox, as mentioned by Deb Morrison, that contains all the attained life tools  have collected. It makes sense.

She raised the questions: "What is my T?" and "How do I sharpen that T?"

As if I'm not already scratching my head with curiosity after every Journalism and Creative Strategist class, I come to find my future job title may not even exist. Huh? Can I invent one of these? Can I use my newly attained tools to mold my own title?
