If you want to pursue that career, do it in your home country. It makes your life less painful.
If you decide to go abroad, choose something else or prepare to bring along with you a truck load of cash.
Don't choose Science.
Don't pick Chemistry, pick bio or biochem.
Don't go for synthetic organic chemistry, settle down with Analytical chem instead.
Don't work and study at the same time. Spend the entire summer to study for the M*** and do not work for money in the lab, volunteer instead.
Don't choose grad school to buy you time 'cz its painful to manage to do well what u dont want to do.
Don't work in a big group with a well-known prof at a top university.
Its all about money and citizenship. Having neither one, don't do it.
Still dont wanna give up 'cz its your dream? Freeze your heart, hole up your emotions and put on a cold face. Keep running like a bullet train without knowing where the last stop is.
"Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion"
A new journey is about to begin. "Living the next 7 years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't" reminded by a friend.

"There's something so beautiful about reaching your dreams... and knowing that age means nothing."
"She reminds us to hope, to never lose track of our dreams, to keep putting one foot in front of the other no matter what others say or think. She gives us hope"
I couldnt remember how many times i watched that clip. I just kept watching it over and over again. You reminds me to hope and to never give up. Kudos to you, Susan

Get up and keep trying
"Get up and keep trying" ... Uhm. Lau roi ko co' cam giac nhu vay. Thoi gian wa, moi la^`n ra khoi lab, di bo ve nha`, lo`ng nang triu va ko the na`o cuoi duoc. Labmate once asked "where is your smile Nick?"
Da lau roi, co le cu~ng tu nam IV, ko ve nha` tu lab luc 2-3h sang ma` la.i di nhanh + vua di vua cuoi nhu 1 thang dien. Tren duong ve co`n nghe 1 drunkard singing "Mr. Lonely" song. Neu la` mi`nh 1 va`i ngay truoc, co' le lo`ng se nang triu. Hom nay thi` la.i thay vui cuoi va lac quan.
Thoi gian qua, co le mi`nh da~ doi xu voi mi`nh te^. wa'. Suy nghi nhieu, buo^`n nhieu de roi mat di su lac quan and hoa`i bao.
Da lau roi, su lac quan va` ti'nh ganh dua ko tro ve nhieu nhu vay. "Doing well is not enough, need to try harder to be at the top and Im not going to lose to anyone"
"when the past is certain to be left to collect dust, they will only be able to open into the future"
I've promised myself that i'd never let me down. if i fall, i'll just get up & try again!
Mourning period is over. Time to get up and face reality.
p.S: Thanks Ng for that conversation. It really woke me up

My motivation is at the lowest level. I feel so exhausted, feel unmotivated. Is that a sight of depression?
I've had nightmares for the past few weeks and i know it came from the pressure/deadlines at work.
I just want to take a break, a long break.
I just want to move on to the next challenge, to the dream i want to conquer.
It is coming soon and I need to get over this one first. Yet i feel i'm unmotivated.
Just wanted to put down a few lines here to remind myself. I need to keep motivating myself, going like a "bullet train", not a steam train. There is no return and no stop. The end of the tunnel is there, closer than ever.
Tomorrow is MOnday, and I'm going back to the schedule I had always been until last week
9AM-0AM till August... I can do it!!

"After breaking up, it is very hard to communicate to each other as it used to be. Sometimes you feel it awkward. Both of you need some gap time. If two people agree to break up when there is no more feeling, then you are still friends. In any other cases, it hurts , keeping in touch" someone told me
