[交流] Some reflection on the journey of Phd pursuit

I have been engaged in the pursuit of Phd degree for nearly four years after attaining my bachelor. To be honest, initially, I had no idea about what kind of life  I would live during the journey, only fancying that doing research things sounds like a  lofty yet cool stuff while meritting more chances and opportunities of getting promotion and earning a decent life after guaduation.
     When I really began my Phd life, I realized that nobody was ready to offer me instant and far-reaching advice. Somehow, I borne some grumble against my encounters. I had a good excuse that both high-level guidance and self-effort are necessary to transform me into a excellent researcher. Since I was short of one of the prerequisites, it was understandable for me not performing very well in academic, which could not harm my self-esteem or represent my personal capability. With the above philosophy in my mind, I was comfortable with messing with the life.
     Until recently, I realized that only myself can define my achievements and future. All the other factors, cons and pros, act like hurdles or propellors, only depending on our attitude. Let it to be that you were studying under an excellent guidance, you cannot achieve a lot if you don't step out to make your efforts.
     Research is a kind of life and philosophy. What is why the highest degree of human is called Philosophy of Doctor. If we just regard the research as a tool to make money, we would be more likely to be fickling and blundering. Research is a lifestyle rather than anything that makes us a millionnare or superstar. Life is composed of one habit and many others.
      There is a prevailing proverb, saying"Being Excenllent is a habit". In my view, it emphasizes at the importance of forming good habits in terms of both behiviors and mindset. For example, it is always a hard time when we struggles to lift our heads off the pillows one morning. However, if we are used to getting up early, it is not a big deal. In parallel, if we are immersely obsessed in the thought that we cannot stage out a sound research due to myriads of adverse external factors, we probably shut the door to improve ourselves. What's worse, our previous time vainly lapsed.

Nice writing.
One thing I got knowing during my research life is that:
PhD is not superior to master, bachelor or even diploma. PhD is just a degree that gets you into a special industry.

The other lesson I learned is that science researchers are not superior to anyone.
Research is just a type of work. The only difference is the workplace is the lab.

When I saw people doing bad science in the lab I was in, I felt depressed and later, gave up.
Up until now, I have never regretted choosing to do so.

May your determinations be with you all along the journey of scientific research.
