I must be definitely clear with myself: you have only thing to do, that is, finish the damn MSD paper. How long have you been delayed it again and again? It has been two years!!! Enough is enough. If you don’t get it out this time round, you will never get it published. Moreover, the consequence of breaching your promise is so damaging that no one will trust you, even yourself. Are you clear now? Forget all other trivial issues. You have only one thing to do, that is, write the MSD paper. Are you clear? I cannot be more angry with myself. Enough is enough. You said too much but do too little. That is your problem. Are you with me? You got to focus on what is critical. You are not young anymore.
Now is the critical moment in your career and your life. If you are diligent and work hard, you will get both career and life. If you don’t, then neither will come. You are just as loser as anybody else here.
Again, you need to return to your clearly monitored routine life. That is the only way you can success. You know the extend and the limit of your raw talent, but also the importance of discipline and hard work.
OK. Now you treat it as seven days in hell. Nothing but MSD. No movie, no hangout. No nothing. You have one hour lunch time and one hour dinner time. That is all you got to relax and read something else. Don’t give yourself any excuse of not accomplishing what you set out to do. Given the time constraint, the only way to achieve this is to work day and night till the last day before your trip.
August 25, whether you like it or not, you must email N.Y. the draft. Are you with me? You must email her the draft. You cannot be lax like this. It has been almost a month since you submit the two revisions.
Enough has been said. Now work!
