My professor told me this when I told him that i was enjoying studying architecture. “..Don’t over do it! it’s like masturbation, you are only enjoying it by yourself and at the end of the day you’ll get yourself tired..”

"Procrastination is like masturbation, it feels good at first but in the end you're only f@ *%ing yourself." The comparison using masturbation is easily understood there, but I fail to see how you can link it with architecture. First and foremost architecture is in service of the people. We should aim not to focus on other's motives but our own. If your architecture serves the people well recognition will come... eventually. My sister has a favorite quote that goes like this.

A good architect is a collaborator with his clients helping them to figure out which would be the most comfortable and psychologically fitting building for them and what they want to feel while at that building. You wouldn´t design a country summer home with the same materials and layout as a city home because they have different functions, the feeling of a wood building is not the same as concrete, etc. but the common person on the street doesn´t know why they like buildings they just know they do. They don´t know why a hallway makes them want to go through or not, etc. A good architect translates this for them. “I’ve come to realize that architects tend to design buildings for architects, and not so much for the person that intend to inhabit that building”
