Reflection #2: Be positive

Today, I find a poem by chance and want to share with you:

REALITY OF FEAR:

You’re not scared of the dark;

you’re scared of what’s in it.

You’re not afraid of heights;

you’re afraid of falling.

You’re not afraid of the people around you;

Fear (from Internet)

you’re afraid of rejection.

You’re not afraid to love;

you’re just afraid of not being loved back.

You’re not afraid to let go;

you’re just afraid of accept the fact it’s gone.

You’re not afraid to try again;

you’re just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

Today, things do not work well and I feel a sense of urgency. I talked with some elder students and realized I do not have a very clear plan towards my future research. That's a fatal weakness! Besides that, most of them graduate from Peking U or University of Science and Technology of China, the top two universities in studying aboard. The broad alumni foundation render them easier to gain recognition. But this is what I cannot change, so it makes no sense to be too anxious about that. 

So be positive! Tomorrow is another day and do what you can do!

Be positive. Smile and sleep, tomorrow is another day! Looking forward to it!  (photo from Internet)
