时间与觉察

你想怎样过一生?又怎样利用人生的每一分钟?

非科学的最后附言 — 克尔凯郭尔

永恒是一匹展翅飞驰的天马,时间则是一匹精疲力竭的驽马,生存着的个体就是驭马者。也就是说,当他的生存方式不是所谓的漫不经心地存在时,他是这样的驭马者;而当他是一位嗜酒的农民,在车上酣睡而让马儿自己照顾自己时,他就不再是驭马人了

给博士生的信 — 蒲慕明

As a scientist, you must dedicate everything to this business
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!
Go to your mother’s house for afternoon naps and never come back!
Vacation: 5 weeks per year (Chinese New Year, the May Day and the National Day breaks are included)
Start your morning work not later than 8:30 am and afternoon work no later than 1 pm
Surf over the Internet for non-scientific purposes should be less than 30 min a day
Reading newspapers should be limited less than 30 min a day
Novels or other non-scientific journals/magazines are not permitted in the lab and office
If you are absent from the lab more than one hour, get permission first.
Everyone has personal business, but the lab business always has priority unless in emergency
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
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!
