Graduate School Survival Motto

animated_book_writing_2.gifAcademia is a business, and "graduate student" is a job title.
                                          --"So long, and thanks for the Ph.D"

From what I have seen, have heard in the past 1 year, I have to admit that it is telling the truth. This definition has rich meanings in it.

It is important for graduate students to bear this in mind because only by understanding graduate school really well, can we survive in it! A guideline in business is that business man needs to act professionally.

So, similarly, the very moment when we entered the graduate school, we have to remind ourselves from time to time that we are now doing  business in academia, we need to act professionally.

We are no longer college students, most of them always have a lot of excuses for not being able to attend classes, only do the minimum when it comes to homework,always expecting professors to make mistakes in classes... On the contrary, graduate students should take the initiatives to read more, write more, talk more and argue more, in a professional way.


LuckyOliver-1696379-blog-networking.jpgIn business, there a saying that "never have lunch alone." So is the same with academia. As a graduate students, we need to talk to more people, network with as many people as we can.

 In IST, we have a good environment for social networking with each other. On the second floor of IST building, there is a cafeteria, where faculties, graduate students and undergraduate students usually have lunch there. We can easily talk to anyone there.

I will recommend not to hold off until you earn enough amount of cash to buy goods! You should get the www.lowest-rate-loans.com or student loan and feel comfortable

Easily, the post is actually the best on this deserving topic. I fit in with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your upcoming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the extraordinary lucidity in your writing.

One remembers that today's life is not cheap, however different people require cash for different things and not every man earns big sums cash. Thus to receive some mortgage loans and secured loan will be a right way out.

People in every country take the business loans in various creditors, because this is fast and easy.

Clomiphene(Clomid) tablet What is this medicine? CLOMIPHENE is a fertility drug used to increase the chance of getting pregnant. It is used to help women ovulate (produce a mature egg) properly during their cycle. Compared to other fertility treatments, clomiphene alone does not greatly increase your chances of having multiple babies. An increased chance of having twins may occur in roughly 5 out of every 100 women who take this medication. Occasionally clomiphene is prescribed to men with fertility problems due to low sperm counts.

There are 309 million people out there that are trying to improve their lot in life. And we've got a system that allows them to do it. You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Better happy to court, nor good service.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own. Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old.

You are not right. Let's discuss it.

I am sorry, that has interfered... But this theme is very close to me. I can help with the answer.

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence. He that has done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade? I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show (teach) him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal. (Proclaimed equality doesn’t mean true equality).

If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed. War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses. The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves-and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

Fantastic, that is all I can say about your website. Thanks a lot for your efforts

It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous. In defense of our persons and properties under actual violation, we took up arms. When that violence shall be removed, when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, hostilities shall cease on our part also.

Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old. Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
