"...design is more than an end
in and of itself: it is "not
separated or segregated
from life but instead is
integrated with other
messy flows. It engages
directly with the world."1

Bruce
Mau
Bruce is an example of the designer for the future. His website is fun with the changing subtitle that changes words but mean the same thing. Very creative, upbeat, and simple. He is forward and global thinking but learns and shares lessons from the past. His designs are examples of New Simplicity.
He shares his 43 point Incomplete Manifesto on-line. at http://www.brucemaudesign.com/#112942/ . He includes such advice as:
Begin anywhere.
Organization = Liberty
Break it, stretch it, bend it, crush it, crack it, fold it.
Don’t borrow money.

Click on this picture for on the above website for an interactive version of his incomplete manifesto. FUN! I agree with most of them but not all but he is the succussful bussinessman and designer. As you can tell he ranges from the lofty to the practical.
The Secret of Success:
A collection of quotes by designers. go to
http://www.brucemaudesign.com/#167403/The-Secret-of-Success to see the book and learn.
Inspired by the conviction that the future demands a new breed of designer, Mau founded the Institute without Boundaries which is a postgraduate program. This in turn started Massive Change, an ambitious travelling exhibition, publication, and educational program series on the power and possibility of design. 
It’s not about the world of design, but the design of the world is the philosophy behind this group.
Mau continues to pursue life’s big question, “Now that we can do anything,
what will we do?” 2
