“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

         其实你更需要的是温暖。

        这也是美国的科研制度和英国的科研制度的差异。美国确实是冷冰冰的，但它也有自己固有的优势。

        跟着导师混也很好。

 注：能力象肌肉一样，锻炼才能生长。

       最好有一个健身计划。储备了一段时间，积攒了一些资料，可以有一次 远征。good luck

        有人知道一些，有人知道全部。

        人和人是有差别的。但是也保证不了，你能冲过这道门槛，还需要你自己的努力。

       而且，世事变迁，我说的东西，有时候都没用了。还是需要你重新提炼出来。

       所以，我一直认为 德国的研究型大学是最好的。

另：不要过分努力，接受自己的不完美。
