How time flies! Almost one year has been elapsed from finger tips without a whisper, quiet as thistledown, flushing my face. Retrospecting what I have engaged in about the experiments, I have something to recapitulate. I have done the hard graft of isolating and purifying around 30 compounds. However, the assiduous efforts have not yielded fruitful results for me, specifically, the absence of papers composed. The only one paper involving my immense zeal and heart is suspended due to the scarce of anti-complementary activity. The distance between ideality and reality is so long that I have to reconsider the odds of obtain the goal. Maybe, I have to adjust the strategy on the research of my thesis project to anticipate the punctual PhD graduation in two years. Although, the odds of publishing three papers during four months are about as long as those on a small, white, indented ball flying down from tee to hole in a single stroke with ill-adapted implements. Still, I will wrestle with variety of excruciating difficulties to climb the greasy pole to consummate my thesis project on time. Therefore, the imperative thing and preoccupancy to do is make the down-to-earth blueprint to implement step by step. The second thing is not only jettisoning the long-established convention of thinking model, but also dismantling the stereotypical methods of conducting experiments. The last one is to sniff out innovative perspectives from literatures that fitted the bill for my own experiments. How long such strategy tailored for myself will take to bear fruit is not explicit for me. But, it is plainly visible that there is no reason to expect the paper to emerge of its own accord, nor to anticipate it to publish in an eye-dazzling journal in the absence of a far larger effort to compose it. Wherefore, severing the eye-starry hallucination and plunging into experiments with gusto is the pragmatic way to make dreams come true. 返回小木虫查看更多
