Living a peaceful PhD life


PhD is perhaps the last grade of 'registered' student life
So it's natural that it is tougher than other grades
Funny enough, to sort of making it more relaxed
People have come out with a great variety of 'PhDs'
with respect, of cause
'Permanent head damage'
'Patiently hoping for a degree'
'Probably half dead'
'Pounding head on desk'
'Pleasing heartedly your Doctor'
and many many more
I think all of these are very right
especially the last one
'Pleasing' your Doctor,
but certainly not 'pissing' your Doctor

After almost 2.5 years of study life,
I have some valuable lessons
to really live a successful PhD life,
you have to always strive
to rejuvenate your Dr,
keeping him on top of the world by all means
Like being proactive enough
independent, obedient, disciplinary
or even being 'happy' and showing it
by making your smiling face to cheer him up
not to mention being his 'slave'
It sounds like a hypocrite, but it's how it works
Because at the end of the day
he is the only one who gives you the degree

I have seen too many 'live' examples in the lab
the consequences of every word, action or thought
which sometimes I agree, sometimes don't
It doesn't really matter actually,
as at the end, you are on your own
you drive your relationship with your supervisor,
winning it or losing it, you are solely responsible
so you gotta face it
But sometimes it spreads
people drive moods vice versa moods drive people,
when he is in bad mood due to one person's fault
it's very likely that the whole lab will be blamed
whether it's acceptable or not
For me, that is the art of working as a team,
although your experiment might stand alone
not requiring so much of team work
It's extremely important for you to understand,
trust, support, and also motivate each other,
both mentally and professionally with expertise
Blaming one for his/her fault to ruin the ambience
is not really an option,
unless one is too sturborn to take advice
and making effort to correct it
then God helps him/her

Above is just a word or two of sharing, no offense
people know you are good by feeling it,
not by telling it
Thanks god as far as my progress concerns
I think I am doing fine
thanks to everyone who supports me all these while
Being my balloons to receive my pressure
especially those sport mates

Next month will be an important month
I will call it a month of 'show-to-the-world'
as there will be a number of meetings going on
that we will present our research work
I really hope that everything will go fine
according to the plans and schedules
Time is ticking faster than I have imagined
Getting nervous now while looking forward
all the best to us
May God and His blessings with us!
