Honesty
– Dishonesty is bad, clearly. It stops people from knowing you and from there
it stops you from getting to know other people as well.
Humility – Despite being a fairly well-known TV personality, Karl is adamant he’s not a celebrity. Not getting ahead of yourself and keeping your feet on the ground is very important.
Humour – Being able to make people laugh helps people get along, but what I admire about Karl’s sense of humour is how he doesn’t think he’s being funny, he just talks, says things how they are, and it’s funny.
Literacy – It’s important to be able to express how you feel, and a lot of people, men in particular, seem to either not want to talk about how they feel about things or be able to verbally express it, this is something Karl Doesn’t have trouble with.
Thick-Skinnedness – Being able to shrug off criticism and not take abuse to heart is important, and Karl puts up the abuse of Ricky Gervais purely for peoples entertainment, which I don’t think many people could do.
I chose Karl Pilkington because recently I’ve been compared to him by a flatmate and it’s made me think about what he actually does and why he’s so popular amongst the viewers of the shows that he’s on. Personally I admire Karl for his sense of humour and his way with words, but what people tend not to consider is that I think he thinks he’s just doing his job.
In all honesty I can’t imagine it being too hard to get in contact with him because I imagine that Ricky Gervais would find it quite funny that someone admired Karl Pilkington, and with social networking being such a massive communicating power, I imagine I could get in touch with Ricky Gervais over twitter.
I would want to know if he is genuinely happy with his closed-mindedness being paraded on national television, because I fail to believe that he’s happy that people laugh at his thoughts. I would also want to know if he would’ve changed in hindsight and been more open-minded, as I’m often accused of being closed minded myself, and something that seems very important to graphic design is being able to think “outside the box”, and I’m worried that my current state of mind won’t accommodate for this over the next three years and beyond. I would like to know from Karl if he thinks himself capable of thinking “outside the box”, because if he can do it then anyone can.
