goal

My unexpected little progress in the past 10 days has resulted in a deep sadness in my mind. Why? I had high expectation of my progress after working hard for summer and making good progress in THM stuff. I went to the extend that I set a goal on Aug. 20 that I was going to finish the paper by Aug. 28 and I was really positive I would (and I really worked hard on that week too). Things has gone not much since then. Why? I have experienced with my life that a project can be extended forever if you don't decide to wrap it up at some point. I finished my Master thesis one year later than when I should have. And I was overdue for my BSc thesis defense for 8 months too. Was it really because I unnecessarily lingered on working on non-important details? I think so.

If this stage of my research is going to be as important as my Master thesis was (in terms of its effect in life in general and facilitating my path to my destination), then I should really consider wrapping it up faster.

Hold on Mohsen. you are miscalculating your past works. You underestimate the work you did in master thesis. That work was a great piece of research, thu you might not be satisfied yet.

Not feeling of regret. To gurantee the happiness of future, one should try to foresee himself and try to predict what in the future will be seen as mistake which he/she could have avoided committing by studying its effects thoroughly before doing it.

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal". Never take your eyes off your goal and always focus on it. The company could be a temporary target through which your path to final goal passes. How about the research you are doing every single night till past midnight and over all the weekends? Is it along your goal Mohsen? My goal:improving human health and doing research toward fixing the problem of aging. I should be well focused on this Mohsen.....Once you know what you gana get, nothing and no one has the power to stop you from reaching it. It is just recognizing truly what your goal is and what makes you happy ultimately. Lets finish this second paper fast and get to the more interesting stuff for cell manipulation. YES! lets just DO it.
