How to ruin your research

  • When you meet with a famous professor, you "share" with him/her your works, efforts, outcomes, papers, plots, program codes, logs, drafts, sketches, photos, experimental equipments, ... (endless)
  • After 6 months of stressed, being hopeless, and exhausted, finally you find the best outcomes you have ever seen. So you go to your advisor's room and start to tell your story ... for 6 hours.
  • Your most appreciated peer appreciates your idea, so you "discuss" your research progress with him/her ... for an hour ... everyday.
  • You solved the ultimate problem that no one can solve, so you start to teach everyone your solution.

Remember, no one is interested in your research exactly. This is why you still can do something on it. When someone ask you "what are you doing with your research?". Do be tempted. I tell them two words: "Internet modeling". That's enough, and they will feel interesting!
