Working as a dedicated scientist
l As a scientist, you must dedicate everything to this business
l Working time: 8-hour is unpractical. There is NO way for a scientist or a Ph.D student to work only 8 hours a day!
l Go to your mother’s house for afternoon naps and never come back!
l Vacation: 5 weeks per year (Chinese New Year, the May Day and the National Day breaks are included)
l Start your morning work not later than 8:30 am and afternoon work no later than 1 pm
l Surf over the Internet for non-scientific purposes should be less than 30 min a day
l Reading newspapers should be limited less than 30 min a day
l Novels or other non-scientific journals/magazines are not permitted in the lab and office
l If you are absent from the lab more than one hour, get permission first.
l Everyone has personal business, but the lab business always has priority unless in emergency
l In this business, an “average” student who works seven days a week is definitely more productive than a “genius” who works five days a week
l If you are able to make any major progresses by working 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, every fortunate in this world must be on your side!
