Superesse Academia
Resilience is key. I see the work taking its toll on friends and mentors. Patience with yourself, and the ability to say no to things - but crucially, to step away from the constant crush of pressure to do more, get a promotion, secure the next step in one's academic career.
Promote promote promote. Sell sell sell.
Patience is key. Everything doesn't have to be done now, even though it often feels that way. Like surfers bobbing in the waves, we're afraid that we might miss the next big chance. It could be for funding, or for a publication, or for a job - everything now. Clever acronyms.
But softly, softly. Be slow.
You don't have to be the best, only good and kind.
